I thought everyone knew what booya means, but heres the definition:

1. booya

It means basically, "bam!", "in your face", and "hell yeah", all at the same time. A term that self congradulates the user, describes excitement, lets others know the magnificence of the celebration or rouse as well as the superiority of the user, and is used as an exclamation of those ideas.

Yup, there was even a Rap Group, The Boo-Yaa Tribe, who released their first album in 1990. They also gave the shotgun sound explaination for the boo-Yaa in their name.
