Yahoos are legendary beings in the novel Gulliver's Travels (1726) by Jonathan Swift.
Swift describes them as being filthy and with unpleasant habits, resembling human beings far too closely for the liking of protagonist Lemuel Gulliver, who finds the calm and rational society of intelligent horses, the Houyhnhnms, greatly preferable. The Yahoos are primitive creatures obsessed with "pretty stones" they find by digging in mud, thus representing the distasteful materialism and ignorant elitism Swift encountered in Britain. Hence the term "yahoo" has come to mean "a crude, brutish or obscenely coarse person".
American frontiersman Daniel Boone, who often used terms from Gulliver's Travels, claimed that he killed a hairy giant that he called a Yahoo.
Yahoos were referred to in a letter sent by serial killer David Berkowitz to New York City police while committing the "Son of Sam" murders in 1976.
Yahoo!''' is an internet content provider.
Yahoo may also refer to: __NOTOC__
Yahoo (foaled 1981) was a National Hunt racehorse, who is best remembered for finishing second in the 1989 Cheltenham Gold Cup to Desert Orchid.
Yahoo was successful on the amateur Point-to-Point circuit, winning at least eleven races. His biggest wins under National Hunt rules included the Rowland Meyrick Chase at Wetherby in 1987, and the Martell Cup at Aintree in 1989. His last race was a second place at Worcester in May 1994.
Yahoo is a Brazilian rock band formed in 1988.
Usage examples of "yahoo".

Although Houyhnhnms are and remain much better than European Yahoos, they are not immune to change, and that change takes place through their encounter with Gulliver.
There was precedent for what was happening to us, too, for I recalled that on the only occasion that Lemuel Gulliver permits himself to go skinny-dipping in the land of the Houyhnhnms, a female Yahoo throws herself lustfully into the water after him.
