Kululush sounds like the Israeli equivalent of "Up for grabs!"

I tried to put the last word on google translate and it returned: "Achlls". So maybe he meant Achilles!
Achilles had a weakness in his heel.

That's a really though one.
Among other things, it's the name of a band (when spelled "Coolooloosh"), a slang term for "combination" and something children used to yell a decade or so ago for no particular reason.

Oh, goodness, how to explain... Well, first of all...

Oh, goodness, how to explain...
Well, first of all, 'kululush' is (mainly) Jerusalemian kids' slang. Some other places have other words for it (the only one I remember is 'shasha', but I know there are more).
As for the meaning of the word, well, it's a kind of action, where you have a lot of something, and you throw it up in the air - this can be done with property (like the various cards that kids collect), in which case it is an act of giving up your possesion of said objects to whomever can grab them - or sometimes it can be done just as a sort of confetti, with pieces of grass or something, in which case the goal is usually to get it in people's hair. As you throw up whatever it is you shout 'kululush', as a sort of 'here it comes!'.
I hope that can give some kind of explanation, but it really is terribly regional. I would love to know if other parts of the world have anything similar.

Okay you guys, what is Kululush exactly?

I would think he was probably going fpor something like "The meek will inherit the earth" and got a really atrocious translation from somewhere- hey, at least the first two words he got could fit in with this scenario!

kululush?
