yahoo

It is not a word that is used in Spanish, but we know it by its literary origin, since it is the name of a race of human-looking beings, uncivilized and considered only as cattle by another called houyhnhnm, made up of horses capable of speaking that live in an idyllic society, found by the traveler Lemuel Gulliver in the novel Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift, published in 1726. Since then the English call yahoos to the rustic and uneducated subjects. In 1970 Jorge Luis Borges published his short story The Brodie Report, which is inspired by the work of Swift, where a Scottish missionary finds a wild tribe from Brazil called Mlch, and which he names 'yahoo' according to its English meaning. Both accounts depict these peoples as a cultural and social involution of another that was more advanced and degenerated. View english/yahoo , Yahoo! ( "web services company" ) .
