The Kingdom of the Middle uses "hoobah" as an expression of acclamation and joy.

Legend has it that an early king of the Middle, upon being presented with a troupe of belly-dancers, exclaimed "Hubba hubba!" This was immediately corrected by the king's herald to the ancient phrase "Hoobah hoobah" either to save the king's dignity, or to protect him from his queen.
