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: 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 like antijokes
Person XXY: r/whosh
Persons C&D: what? that doesn’t even make sense.

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.
Guy 1: $35 with free shipping seems sketchy.... I think I should buy this one, which costs $30 with $5 shipping.

Guy (3 or 1): its a joke you dumbass

r/woooosh 

It is the name of a subreddit in which one posts images of people not getting a joke. The "woooosh" means the sound of the joke that goes over one's head.

The term has been twisted ever since the shitty Reddit channels rose, and nowadays, r/woooosh is mostly said by 12 year old children who think that Reddit is cool. In 99% of all known cases, they are funnily enough the ones who missed the joke. Correct a spelling mistake? r/woooosh. The joke is unfunny or overdone? r/woooosh. Asked an earnest question? r/woooosh.

Luckily, more and more are getting sick of this shit, so r/woooosh is facing stigmatisation. I pray that one day, we will live in a world without r/woooosh.
Person a: Nobody: YouTube recommendations:

Person b: What the fuck man, nobody memes stopped being funny two years ago.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.

The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
