When you refer to a whoop section as "camel humps"..

I still think Camel Humps is a better description than Whoops!

Whoop-dee-doo: Noun

It's a melding of 2 terms.

Whoop, A Cherokee word meaning to "Dance lightly over fallen trees."

Dee-doo, A Malaysian term meaning; "You fool, you should've known better".

 

Paraphrased from an old Dirt Bike mag from the 70's.
