r/woooosh 

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: 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 like antijokes

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

r/woooosh 

You didn't get the joke, and I won't tell you why! I'll just give you an annoying as fuck message to fuck with you until you realize it's a joke or until you go completely insane in a carousel of frustration and agony because you cannot figure it out on your own and have to ask people who either give you the same annoying as fuck message, or type a fucking monologue explaining the joke you were too dense to understand.
