David Filo - Yahoo! and the Internet

From what is literarily (pardon the nonce word) "the horse's mouth"; not quoted ("...") because I do remember nearly the exact words, but can't take responsibility for my memory.

When Dave and Jerry started it, they called it "Dave's and Jerry's Directory of Cool Sites".
They decided they had to have some other name for it in the course of time.
Inspired (not they, but the name Ya...) by a popular program known as yacc (yet another compiler compiler), they decided to call their company "Yet Another something something" and they ran a search on some dictionary on their computer for ya.* and it returned yahoo, the American word for a rough uncouth person; which apparently Dave and Jerry at the time decided they were, and named their company Yahoo.
Later, their marketing team suggested that the full-form be "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle", and since the word officious meant something like neither useful, nor worthwhile (actually, I think it means something like interfering), they decided to stick to it.
