whoop

A loud, eager cry, usually of joy.

Mixed with the whoop of the crane and the roar of the grim alligator.

[A] great whoop of victory sounded as finally they carried the fish up the beach.

A gasp, characteristic of whooping cough.

A bump on a racetrack.

.

The key to jamming through the whoops is to keep your weight to the back of the quad […] and keep the front wheels high […]

To make a whoop.

each whooping with a merry shout

When naught was heard but now and then the howl / Of some vile cur, or whooping of the owl.

To shout, to yell.

I made a speaking trumpet of my hands and commenced to whoop “Ahoy!” and “Hello!” at the top of my lungs. […] The Colonel woke up, and, after asking what in brimstone was the matter, opened his mouth and roared “Hi!” and “Hello!” like the bull of Bashan.

To cough or breathe with a sonorous inspiration, as in whooping cough.

To insult with shouts; to chase with derision.

And suffered me by the voice of slaves to be / Whooped out of Rome.

To beat, to strike.

To defeat thoroughly.
