What exactly is a "whoosh"?

I think whooshing should be a bannable offense.

Or at the very least, a banana offense.

I thought the whole thread was a meta-whoosh.

Any particular era? Maybe you could narrow this down to a particular decade?

“Whoosh” means the joke failed but its teller wants credit anyway.

That rarely happens. It’s considered bad form for the whoosher to tease the whooshee.

Really? I do that at least twice a month.

I’m not letting the mods anywhere near me with a banana.
