Cowabunga
a singular word expressing appreciation of an amusing physical action.

I took to saying it to my bulldog and pitbull in appreciation of their leaping on the kitchen table or doing something otherwise physically dramatic. Such as falling off the couch. I believe I picked it up from Homer Simpson.
