Add 'ogle' and 'goggle' to your vocabulary.

Yahoo sounds like a rude degenerate person who flings poo from a tree.

Yahoo is an exclamation of delight. Perhaps it is more well known in the USA. We used to yell it as kids before or after we did some exciting thing such as jump off buildings.

Both definitions, the noun and the interjection, are well known and popular.
Apparently not always both to the same people.
The rude noun is the older usage of the two predating the celebratory interjection by about 150 years, the interjection not arriving in literature until the 1870s.
