Must have been friendly people....got curious and found this thanks to Google...its off a board.

"I have a question for you. I have heard that there is an expression that a Scotsman will use when he sees or hears something exciting. One of the ladies I work with is married to a native Scotsman, so I asked her the question. The expression is the phrase "Hoot Man!". When I told her this, she darn near fell off her chair, she was laughing so hard. Once she was able to breathe and stopped crying, she told me that her husband only uses that phrase when they have sex. It was my turn to fall off my chair. I laughed so hard, I nearly popped my bag!"
