war eagle

In half of Alabama during Auburn football games, this phrase, occasionally with a "damn" inserted between "war" and "Eagle", and depending on alcohol consumption, can be used as a substitute for:
"Hello", "Goodbye", "Get me another drink!", "We're Winning the game!", "Want to be my new drinking buddy?", "Let's hook up", "Welcome to America", "Encore!", and "I'm so happy"

The sound of the couple's bickering got louder as a crowd began to gather around them in front of the bars on College Street, that is until the guy swallowed his pride, said he was sorry and tearfully embraced his girl friend by saying "I love you baby. War Eagle."
