Cant even understand a simple concept.

Ugh yeah exactly.
Who knows if anyone would have capitalized on it, but Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte wants to own the catchphrase he created.
Lochte trademarked the phrase "Jeah" on Aug. 1, according to a filing with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. The filing reveals that Lochte hopes to put the word on everything from goggles to sunglasses to jewelry and beer mugs. The swimmer, who won two golds and two bronze medals in the 2012 Olympic Games, said his term is a modification of "Chea," a word rapper Young Jeezy frequently uses.
"It means, like, almost everything," Lochte said, in a 2009 video posted on YouTube. "Like happy. Like, if you have a good swim, you say, 'Jeah!' "
The video was posted by TMZ, which was the first to report news of the recent filing.
Tha , Lochte?
U.S. Olympic hero Ryan Lochte might have an unexpected speed bump on his way to trademarking the phrase "Jeah!" in the form of 90s rap star MC Eiht, who claims the phrase was his long before it was Lochte's.
Eiht tells TMZ he coined the phrase back in 1988 and is insulted to hear Lochte is trying to claim it as his own now. Eiht tells us, "Why try and trademark something his ass didn’t even create? I am mad that he isn’t giving me proper recognition for taking my saying. He is just disrespectful."
The Compton's Most Wanted rapper tells TMZ he's not so much concerned about the money as he is the "respect and the truth."
Eiht says he plans on sending a cease and desist letter urging Lochte to stop using his phrase.
Lochte's manager tells us, "Ryan has been using JEAH for years," adding, "This is the first I have heard of this claim by MC Eiht."
