swooning over someone

(noun) A successful type of theft which results in an acceptable, impressive and rewarding payday for the protagonist.

Humina humina humina, *eyes pop out*, NOW THATS A DAME.

When one finds a woman who is attractive, they will often “awooga” which is where the male character will promptly make their eyes and jaw drop to the floor. Panting, punching themselves in their own face, simping, acting in a doglike manner, and the eyes elongating while still in their own sockets is some of many other side affects.

When your jaw drops to floor, eyes pop out of sockets accompanied by trumpets, heart beats out of chest, you pull chain on train whistle that has appeared next to head as steam blows out and you slam any plates, bowls or silverware, whistle loudly AND fireworks shoot from top of head, pant loudly as tongue hangs out of mouth, wipe comically large bead of sweat from forehead, clear your throat, straighten tie and comb hair.

The phrase originated as a running joke on sci-fi series Red Dwarf in reference to the ship's emergency siren. It was, for some time popularized by fans of Red Dwarf and was later used by Red Dwarf star Craig Charles on his 1993 game show Cyberzone. Craig used the phrase in much the same context as on Red Dwarf (when the game show sirens were sounded) and it became a 'catch phrase' of sorts for Craig on the game show, but was also a reference to the Red Dwarf joke.

John Fashnu picked up the catch phrase after appearing on Craig's show 'Cyberzone' as a guest, and subsequently copied it for himself on Gladiators. This caused much upset amongst fans of both Red Dwarf and Craig Charles, not only because he had copied the phrase, but used it incorrectly as a personal 'catch phrase' of his own.

Created and first used by the Awooga brothers, Fash the bash, Kris Akabusi and Craig Charles, Awooga is a sign of excitement, happiness and an utterance of agreement.
