Where does the phrase YEEHAAAW come from

[Major 2]

 team Mule drivers used the phrase...as Yee for right and Haw for left...

it comes from the more correct Gee Haw

A little surface research also turned up this.....

......that Yeehaw Junction
should actually be pronounced "yah
haw,'' not the cowbody-sounding "yeehaw''
and that ya haw was the Seminole
word for wolf.

Can any one corroborate this with harder data?

[Curley Cole]

So does this stuff keep you up at night???

anyways, Happy New Year, my friend!

Yeehaw Junction is just 51 miles south on here, there is documentation at the Desert Inn now on the list of National Historical sites, the crossroads was originally called  "Jackass Junction".

The term "Gee" & "Haw" was used to drive mules.

The word "Yeehaw" is Seminole in origin and means "wolf" referring to wolves that inhabited the area.
and the word "Seminole" itself means "wildman"

ta tell you the truth,  I remember sayin or at least thinkin it once,   the first time I ever took a dip of Copenhagen  when I was about 18.     that stuff will get away from ya.

According to many sources, the word Seminole is a close derivative of the Muscogee (Creek) word for "runaway".  Many groups of Seminole were heavily composed of Muscogees and slaves who had "run" south into what is now Florida in order to escape persecution and death.

I have heard this too,  so no argument (when the language is Muscogee (Creek)

there are two different language of the Seminole, Muscogee Creek and Miccosukee  

It's pronounced "SEH-minn-ole." It comes from a Spanish word meaning "wild."

[Daniel Nighteyes]

Yup, know about the Miccosukee.  Fine folks.
