Re: Booyay!
.I googled it a while back and got answers such as "It's a military term meaning in your face
It's Boo /Yeah not BooYay
It's the highest number box and they had to have a catch phrase WTF
I even asked my Aussie friends. Replies were Why do you watch that shite
Who cares - AoK is a knob
, Don't know, don't care and various other answers of that ilk- all really helpful girls NOT.........So I still don't know.
Anyway my other question is how do they choose the box opener? And why do some pickers have 4 friends opening the boxes and some only 1? Why would you go on a show just to open a box with a tiny chance of getting $500 and not having a chance to pick a box the next day like they do in the UK?
I do think it's better than the UK version though (that is really utter crap).

It means oh for gods sake, get a grip, turn the TV off and go and do something more interesting instead. You know how the Australians like to shorten everything
