Chirp Chirp

Popular in Muncie, Indiana, USA and in geographical areas boasting large concentrations of Ball State University alumni, "Chirp Chirp" is a blood-curdling cheer used to instill fear and terror into the hearts of opposing schools who dare to step onto the same field, court, ring, ice rink, drinking establishment, etc. with a Ball State Cardinal. It is derivative of the sound emitted from the fiercest robin-sized bird known to man, the Midwest American cardinal. Not always used to intimidate, "chirp chirp" can also be a jovial cheer expressing praise or acclaim as its user may employ it to convey general pride for their school.

Person one: Duuuuuuuuude! Did you see Ball State take down Notre Dame tonight? Persons hit a last second shot to ice the game!
