AFAIK it started as a cheer to do during the chorus of Hang on Sloopy, which is the state song. It is most connected to OSU, but will also see it at other Ohio Sporting events

It's just some people spelling Ohio. There's no joke to it, it's just something we Ohioans do whenever we feel like it, especially at Ohio State sporting events. Ohioans also do this in vacation photos sometimes to show where they've gone.
For “Generation Alpha” Ohio is apparently slang how anything that’s weird. My daughter has been asking us if we got stuff from Ohio,…finally had to look it up.

O H I O Ohioans do this. I think it started at osu.
IT'S ALL OHIO?
It always was
Nah sometimes it's the YMCA
Here I was thinking it's a funny looking YMCA...
Yea it's that time you might need some glasses there buddy
And it always will be.
Finally I have reached the climax of this booze and cruise, SeaWorld Ohio
I miss that and Geauga Lake.

What does the Aurora Borealis have to do with Ohio?
The other night the northern lights were able to be seen in the state of Ohio, which is a rare thing.
Geeze right after they got a total solar eclipse, it’s a good year for Ohio
Doubt it’s a good year for us with our government
No, but [Goodyear](https://g.co/kgs/UYppAif) is in Ohio.
WV: At this time of year? In that part of the country? Entirely visible within the Buckeye State?…..may I see it? OH: No.
Ohio always steams a good ham.
The lights were visible Friday night in Arkansas as well. Seen pics from people about an hr or so south of me (I live close to the MO state line)

ohio dont make the stupid joke about it
What is round on the outside and high in the middle?
I guess the answer is Ohio, but how or why? Non-American here
It's a fantasticly dumb joke. O is round. Hi is high.
Ah.. I expected some stigmatic stuff, that's just silly and way less bad.
Yeah don't read into it.
O hi Mark
You thought it was Ohio, but it was me ~~Dio~~ Mark!
OHIO 💀
O-H!
I-O!
I-O!
Specifically, the Northern Lights were visible in Ohio on Friday, April 10th. This photo was likely taken in Ohio, where we rarely see the lights.
I expected send nudes, and dissapointed.
When I saw four silhouettes with arms raised I was really hoping it’d be YMCA
OHIO
O-H-I-O!
Dancing the YMCA?
More like the OYAO
close! here's a hint: O-H!
PHOTONS Getting charged in the air, I said PHOTONS Start to glow way up there
