...in Chinese, it's pronounced 'oo-ray...
golf joke told to me by a classmate, of Asian Indian descent, from Zambia, at Pharmacy school in Oklahoma
Salesman was on business trip in China. Checked into hotel. Promptly contacted the local "rent-a-chick". While conducting that particular business transaction, the girl repeatedly hollered "hoo-ray! hoo-ray!" which led him to believe he must have been her best client all day!
Next day, while on the links with the ACTUAL business associates, he teed off in the wrong direction, put the ball on the wrong green and all the other players said,"hoo-ray!" the interpreter then leaned over and said "wrong hole!"
