r/woooosh (or just woooosh) is used in response to someone taking sarcasm
literally, and you use it to call them out on not picking up on the sarcasm.
Origins:
The onemonepia comes from the saying “the joke went over your head” and it’s (literally) the sound of the joke going over the person’s head.
The “r/“ component is because that’s how
reddit organizes their subreddits
r/woooosh is also exclusively referencing the subreddit (a community on
reddit) about people not picking up on sarcasm. If you don’t know what
reddit is, just say woooosh, otherwise you’re a pretentious idiot who uses vocabulary you don’t know the meaning of to sound cool, but instead reveal you’re actually a dumbass.
Also it is correctly spelled with 4
o’s and no h at the beginning
Person A: You know how I tend to stay out of the whole voting issues? Well you know how convicts are allowed to vote in
Florida now?
Person B: Yeah?
Person A: Well I think we’re doing something seriously wrong here
Person B: I
mean I agree, but why do you think so?
Person A: Because I think ONLY convicts should be allowed to vote
Person B: Are you stupid?
Person A: *deep sigh* r/woooosh
Person C: Why did the chicken cross the road
Person D: why
Person C: there was a crosswalk there for pedestrians
Person D: haha I

Persons C&D: what? that doesn’t even make sense.
