Filipinos use wew when something unbelievable happens.

A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

A way to say wow in Filipino, common in online games.

It is thought to mean as "wow" but is in fact a way to say "whew" in Filipino. Mainly used in game chat because it is faster to type than "whew" or "phew". It is also a form of txtspk.

Often used as a general derogatory term to pertain to a certain subset of gamers but can also be added to annoy others. Usually used in combination with some Filipino words for hilarity.

Widely used by Filipino gamers to express frustration. It was first coined in a 2007 casual rhythm-matching online game called O2JAM by a username "superwax123.” The word "wew" itself was originally intended to replace the expression "wow" since "w" and "e" keys are very near to each other.

Word made famous by Ryder Wilson from Flying kitty's YouTube Poop of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas "The fucking memes"

What someone writes when they want to say "woo" or "WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" but are too lazy, and therefore use only one hand, and type "wew."
