Take him by the hair Let him know what's on If you understand me Y'all come on Yeah, yeah, yeah Another variety of yell is illustrated by that of the School of Practical Science (since 1906, the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering) of University of Toronto: Who are we? Can't you guess? We are from the S.P.S.! The cheer of the United States Naval Academy is an imitation of a nautical siren. The Royal Military College of Canada cheer is: Call: Gimme a beer!
