Common card · No. 333035

Geronimo is a United States Army airborne exclamation occasionally used by jumping paratroopers or, more generally, anyone about to jump from a great height, or as a general exclamation of exhilaration. The cry originated in the United States. Its exact origin is unclear, but it likely ultimately derives from a reference to Geronimo, the Apache military leader.
