"Woo" is just a slang term for psuedoscience. It isn't an abbreviation for anything.

Woo is basically a term for ideas people believe that aren't scientifically backed (such as detoxes or eating early to boost your metabolism). In the Getting Started subforum, the sticky thread at the top should have a link to acronyms and what they mean.

"Woo" are diets, supplements, cleanses, etc, that sound good from far, but are far from good. Basically, the only thing getting lighter would be your wallet.

Here's a great thread that will explain a lot of the abbreviations used here.
