He listened respectfully at first, filled with compassion, tears forming in his eyes as she narrated having been abandoned as an infant, left in a dumpster high in the Sierra-Nevadas, rescued by dumpster-diving circus riders who put her, untethered, on the back of a jumping stallion every night till she was sixteen. Years later, escaping one night off the coast of San Diego she waded into the ocean, hoping to end it all, only to be netted by Tijuana shrimp fishermen who forced her to peel shrimp for years in a rickety boat, the best life she's ever known, before falling overboard in a hurricane and washing ashore in San Francisco at the precise moment an 7.4 earthquake hit. How she got to the Greyhound station in Sparks she was still unclear, and could he spare a hundred bucks to help her find her rightful family, whom, she believed, might at this moment be remorsefully searching for her on the outskirts of Death Valley. By now dry-eyed and stone-hearted, he reached into his wallet for a five, which he slipped into the outer pocket of her spangled handbag and, not looking back, hopped quickly onto his bus while she prattled on with her Tale of Whoa!

Similar to a Weeaboo, except not with Japanese themes but entirely with Dr. Who. Note that this isn't referring to fans of the show, but irritating people (like weeaboos) who:
-Are close minded with other shows and fandoms. They are obsessed with Dr. Who (in a bad way)
-Continued from the last point, they believe that everything else is inferior to Dr. Who without good reasoning or support. This is different from people who say that Dr. Who is their favorite show.
-Constantly makes references to the franchise in a very disruptive way. Even if their friends politely ask them to stop or tone it down, they will complain and continue.
-May have a lot of Dr. Who items, possibly a shrine.
-Uses too many Dr. Who terms and attempts to develop the accents of the Doctors.
-Constantly sings/hums/mimics the Dr. Who theme song. Sometimes as loud as they can. When others tell them to please be quite, they get mad and continue.
-Act like they know so much about the franchise, maybe even claim they are the best fan. When a friend wants to talk about Dr. Who with them, the 'Whoaboo' completely ruins the conversation by being rude to the friend if they do not know something correctly and tells them they aren't a true fan or they are stupid.
-May blab about how they should have been the Doctor or another character in the show because they claim to 'pretty much be them'.
-If you're unlucky, they'll spoil the whole series for you.
