Gwoon originated in the NES video game Dragon Warrior IV. Random monsters and dragons in towns throughout the game would reply "Gwoon, Gwoon." when spoken by the heroes.

These days the term is used on a few people on IRC who would classify themselves as an asshat. Much like in the game, the word itself is utterly devoid of meaning, and used to fill in conversation lulls, or as an noun/adjective when words fail the user.

The word can also be used as a greeting in the presence of other gwoon-using asshat friends. Multiple o's may be added for emphasis, as much as emphasizing a nonsense word is possible.
"Gwoon, Gwoon." "Gwooooooooooon."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
