r/woooosh

It is the name of a subreddit in which one posts images of people not getting a joke. The "woooosh" means the sound of the joke that goes over one's head.

The term has been twisted ever since the shitty Reddit channels rose, and nowadays, r/woooosh is mostly said by 12 year old children who think that Reddit is cool. In 99% of all known cases, they are funnily enough the ones who missed the joke. Correct a spelling mistake? r/woooosh. The joke is unfunny or overdone? r/woooosh. Asked an earnest question? r/woooosh.

Luckily, more and more are getting sick of this shit, so r/woooosh is facing stigmatisation. I pray that one day, we will live in a world without r/woooosh.

Person a: Nobody: YouTube recommendations:

Person b: What the fuck man, nobody memes stopped being funny two years ago.
Person a: r/woooosh NORMIE! go back to cringestagram!

Reverse Whoosh

A Reverse Whoosh occurs when someone pretends, as a joke, not to "get" someone else's joke, by satirizing someone correcting the original joke teller. When others, in turn, try to correct and mock the stupidity of the person pretending not to get the original joke - only now in earnest, thereby revealing their own stupidity and lack of humor - they themselves have fallen prey to the old Reverse Whoosh.

guy 1: "......squid pro quo" a pun
guy 2: "Actually, it's "QUID pro quo," not "SQUID." It's Latin." a joke
guy 1 or 3: "whoosh!" i.e., my/his joke went right over your head
guy 2: "reverse whoosh" i.e., no, but mine went over yours

Whoosh Parrot

Derived from the 'Whoosh' reply to a joke which goes over non-intellectual heads. Originally signified by waving the flat hand just above the head.
The 'Woosh Parrot' was developed as a medium to convey the same message in a visual form for internet fora such as 'Pistonheads'

I've just seen an Ambulance with the word spelt 'Ambiwlans',,, Has dumbing down gone too far?

Whoosh! (With the picture of Whoosh Parrot following)

It's Welsh, you 'tard!

double whoosh

When the other party not only doesn't get the joke, they don't get the explanation either.

"To get to the other side."

But why?

Double whoosh.

r/woooosh

This is the right spelling, talking to you r/whoosh-ers and r/woosh-ers, the sound of a joke flying over your head, made into a subreddit for people to make fun of people who don’t get jokes.

OP: I hate people who beg for likes, like if you agree
TP (Terrible Person): But you just begged for likes!
OP: r/whoosh
AP (Another Person): You spelt it wrong, it’s r/woooosh
