هل تعلم ما هو معنى كلمة """Yahoo

Theterm Yahoo is used in many ways nowadays. As an English word, it was first used in
English literature in the early eighteenth century, then appropriated to the English language in a wide number of idiomatic connotations. There are some other meanings of the word too in different languages
1
The word Yahoo was first coined by Jonathan Swift in his canonical fiction Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World (1726), referred to asGulliver's Travels. Swift portrayed the Yahoos as filthy and savage creatures with close resemblance to human beings, subjugated to slavery by the intelligent horses, the Houyhnhnms. Clearly the intention of the author was to problematise the man-horse relationship, and more specifically the elitism of Swift's England

2
With the gala success of Swift's satire, the word was appropriated into the English vocabulary to refer to something vile, crude, coarse or brutish; much as a synonym of a yokel

3
Yahoo is also the name of a deity of the Shasu tribes, the nomads of the Levant from c. 15th century BCE to the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt. The word š3sw in the ancient Egyptian language meant "people who move afoot"

The famous search engine and web directory Yahoo! perhaps needs no introduction and is almost self explanatory. Nevertheless, we must note that it has an exclamation mark next to the word. Yahoo! was founded by Jerry Yang and David Filo in 1994, and was incorporated a year later in 1995.

Yahoo is also the folk name of a bird formally called the Grey-crowned Babbler

6
Yahoo can also refer to a well known waterfall in USA, in fact the tallest one in Kentucky with a height of 34 metres. Most probably its original name in the local Muscogee language was Ywahoo

7
Yahoo is also the name of a rock band of Brazil, founded in 1988 by its lead guitarist Robertinho do Recife

Last but not the least, the noted Australian film maker Greg Pead adopted the name Yahoo Serious in 1980. Some of his famous films were Young Einstein (1988), Reckless Kelly (1993) and Mr. Accident (2000). He is also remembered for filing a lawsuit against the web company Yahoo! in 2000, with the charge of trademark infringement. Nevertheless, since he could not prove that he sold products or services under that nomenclature that have been affected by Yahoo!, his claim was not entertained
