Read ANY text about Warhammer orcs... ANY text, be it classical or 40k. If it's Warhammer then there is Waaagh in it.

This is you.
It's a general purpose Orc warcry as well as the Orcian technical name for a horde/zerg of warriors.
Ok thank you so much for your replies.
I expect you mean any text such as this:
Species:
Greenskin (Black Orc)
Career Type:
Heavy Tank, Melee De-buffer
Specialties:
Dirty Fighting, Shields, Large Choppas
Appearance:
Black Orcs are the largest of greenskins. They are clad in crude but heavy armour decorated with all manner spikes and sharp plates. Black Orc helmets are known to sport massive horns and a huge metal jaw guard.
Lore and Description:
Originally, Black Orcs were artificial creations designed to serve as the ideal slave-warriors of the Chaos Dwarfs. They were a race of Orcs bred and molded to be large, tough, mean and immune to the constant animosity that plagues the greenskin species. Things, however, went horribly wrong. Massive numbers of Black Orcs rebelled and broke free to wreak havoc on their former masters and the rest of the Warhammer world.
Because Black Orcs do not suffer from the petty squabbles that plague other greenskins, they make natural leaders. Truly, Black Orc warbosses are amognst of the most threatening individuals as they can keep a WAAAAAAGH!! together a lot easier that any other greenskin. Ironically, acheiving this often involves cracking heads together, frequent headbutts and other brutal moves to subdue would-be trouble makers. Naturally this makes Black Orcs not only leaders, but also a race of brutal close combat fighters amongst a species known for their brutality in close combat.
Playing this Career:
"Listen 'ere! Weez are da biggest, baddest and meanest of da Orcs! Dat means we can fight however we wants! All ya have to do is find da troublemaker in da enemy mob. Once ya find da troublemaker, rush 'em and kick 'em where it counts! Den, bash 'em wif yer shield and chop him wif your choppa! Don't forget to focus on da troublemaker! Leave da rest and go after 'em one at a time! Weez are 'ard enough to take a kickin and keep da troublemakers busy!"
Fighting this Career:
"Ok lads, when you fight those darn greenskins, you have to keep in mind that a "fair fight" to them is the farthest thing from fair! Those Black Orcs will do anything to win and keep you on the floor, so watch for his dirty moves. Make sure you use timing and learn his combination attacks. The last thing you want is for him to get you on the ground. Watch for his "fair" fighting moves like trips, head butts and other brutal combinations and you'll be just fine."
WAAAGH! is the orc warcry, and also the basically a greenskin jihad/crusade.
When they go into battle they scream WAAAGH!
Then they can form a WAAAGH! Where a single clan of orcs can gather a majority of other clans for the single purpose of war against an enemy. Supposedly there is nothing more deadly then an Orc waaagh, but they are extremely hard to keep going and hold together, only the best warbosses are capable.
