'Tally-ho' is used in modern language for several things. During fox or deer hunting, if a target is spotted, one might yell 'Tally-Ho' to alert the others.

In aircraft, if an air traffic controller is advising one aircraft of another aircraft's location, they might acknowledge the sighting with a 'Tally-ho, at 2:00'. This expression, however, is not acknowledged by the FAA.

The expression has also been used to reference a 'challenge level 1' square dance.

In the U.K. it was used as a type of " war cry " during hunting whether on the ground on horseback [ fox, hare, etc. ] or in the air, when a fighter pilot spotted an enemy aircraft and excitedly announced to his comrades that he was going to attack.

Similarly, Americans used the expression " Geronimo ".
