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 B: Yeah?
Person A: Well I think we’re doing something seriously wrong here

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.
