JEAH
Saturday, August 18, 2012 @ 4:05 PM



News broke early yesterday that our favorite word is in the works to be a Trademark! 

Lochte plans to put ‘Jeah’ on sunglasses, clothing, jewelry, DVDs, key chains, trading cards, calendars, hats, posters, mugs, water bottles, swimsuits, swim goggles and swim caps. Looks like someone is trying to create a brand. Could a trademark on his Team USA grill be next?Lochte said he came up with ‘Jeah’ after hearing the rapper Young Jeezy, who says ‘Cheah’ in a lot of his songs.  Lochte says to him, it means good or happy.
