"Nows" originated when I, Tollie had a sinus ache once. It was so excruciating, when I tried to type "ow, my nose!" it came out as "Oh, my nows!"

Then as I was talking to my friend Kylie, she began saying "oh noes." Since "noes" is totes not as cool as "nows" I said, "OH NOWS!!" and I have been saying it ever since.
Tootles: The world just blew up!!
Tollie: Oh nows!!!

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
