Woo-woos is just shorthand for 'a credulous person who believes in ideas that are without merit, violate laws of physics, are indemonstrable, strain logic, and are just plain silly".
Nah, dude. “woo-woo” means there’s gonna be a knife fight!
butthurt!
Shits about to get real all up in here.
Cooter?
You do realize that the “joke” only works because *woowoo *is widely understood to mean cunt?
No it isn’t. The joke works because woo-woo was associated with the vagina in the joke.
Woot woo, I can see a woowoo!
First one to get Woowoo as my personal title. Woowoo!
I think you should apologize to all women for using “widely” and “cunt” in the same sentence. We all know what you meant.
My neice refers to her 4 year old female bits as her “WeeWee”. I will correct her.
“ivan astikov”
“I can count to potato!”
The joke only works because woowoo isn’t “widely understood” to mean anything in particular, which was the point of Skammer’s remark.
No, the point of Skammer’s remark is that he had only heard the word used for female genetalia.
I don’t even see how your interpretation is possible.
Peter, may I kindly advise that you just get over it already?
Peter Morris, if you like, you can continue to believe woowoo means vagina and that it’s a terrible insult. But you’ve failed to prove it to anybody else, and it’s not going to be moderated that way.
“When someone else uses a word,” Peter Morris said, in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.”
Yeah, right, it’s only me, and Skammer, and Urban Dictionary, and Mel Brooks, but you know better than all of us.
It is a FACT that woowoo is used by many people to mean vagina. That make3sit the same level of insult as dick.
The problem is that you have double standards. The moderators allow so-called skeptics to get away with murder, when attacking superstition. But no criticism of skeptics is permitted, even when they are obviously lying, or otherwise acting like dicks. I have always found this to be so.
“All of us?” Do you have a mouse in your pocket?
To review:[ul]
*Skammer said he didn’t know what the word means, and guessed (incorrectly) that maybe it meant vagina. He never said he’d heard it used as a synonym for vagina.
*The definition has a negative rating at Urban Dictionary, with all of 26 votes in favor and 31 against. That definition is ranked ninth, far behind definitions including “Unfounded or ludicrouse beliefs” (+110) and “extraordinary beliefs for which it is felt there is insufficient extraordinary evidence, and people who hold those beliefs,” (+85) which is how the term is used here. Your version is tied at -5 with “A drink that is like 99.9% fruit juice. it is also a term used to describe the people that drink them.”
*Mel Brooks used “woo woo” in High Anxiety as a substitute for womb (uterus, not vagina) because there were children in the conference room and his character was embarrassed to use the word womb in front of them. The joke is that his character is being oversensitive and dumbing himself down because he is afraid of offending children. And he is obviously not using the word to mean “someone who believes in pseudoscience.”[/ul]
These are some of the worst cites I have ever seen on this board. You’ve got a guess, an Urban Dictionary cite that even Urban Dictionary voters don’t agree with, and joke from a Mel Brooks movie. It is time for you to give this up.
