I admit, I had to look up "woo," but I will now use it with abandon. I have little patience for those who believe in garbage they read on the Internet. When a friend posts non-scientific stuff on Facebook, I'm always the first to respond and tell them that it's nonsense.
I have more patience for those who believe Dr. Oz because at least he is a doctor, so they have reason to believe he might know what he's talking about. Unfortunately, if he does know, he's not sharing it with the world.
I had a boss once who was one step above completely illiterate. The saddest part is that she was a newspaper publisher. She bought every weight loss thing she saw on TV. She bought that thing that shocks your abs, thinking it would give her a washboard stomach. When she declared it didn't work, I was like, "And you're surprised?"
She bought that Hollywood 48-Hour Miracle Diet -- the one that is basically a bottle of overpriced juice, and was so upset that it didn't work and she actually gained weight. I asked her if she stopped eating while drinking the juice, and she said, "what?" I informed her that the juice diet was a fast and you're only supposed to drink the juice for 48 hours. Of course you'd lose weight because it's 48 hours of starvation. She just ate like normal and washed it down with her expensive juice. I'm sure she hated me because I laughed at her all the time.0 -

It's better to keep it that way. You're not missing much and the fact that you don't use these non-words is a good sign. Oh, and the funny thing is that "deep" is misspelled in this thread to begin with.
Have you read any Shakespeare? It's full of newly coined words. You probably know that. Language evolves whether we like it or not. Best to stay open for the sake of effective communication. I have never spoken the words derp and woo. I am too old and would look foolish. But for the sake of internet communication, its good to stay up on it. Thank you Urban Dictionary."
Shakespeare was a master of word invention
Also the word 'derp' as I mentioned above has already made it into the Oxford Dictionary - in fact it entered 3 years ago, so it's not exactly new
I love how organic language is
Right? For nerds like myself, here's a sampling of some other new "official" entries in 2015:
autotune
Blu-ray
camming
crowdfund
e-cig
FLOTUS
handsy
hot mess
jeggings
kettlebell
koozie
photobomb
retweet
sext
shizzle
twerk
webisode
I challenge you to use every one of those words in forum posts today.
We can start with "Juggs, please stop twerking while wearing your jeggings. You look like a hot mess".0 -

"Deep" is a typo for "derp," which is a term used occasionally by my 13-year-old son and his friends. They use it usually as an adjective for something that is silly or ridiculous. "Woo" is used to mean something tricksy/deceptive, as far as I can tell.
ETA, @WalkingAlong Thank you for making excellent points.
"Derp" is an ableist slur used to insult people with cognitive impairments.
Arguably, it isn't ableist. Unlike the terms stupid, idiot, moron, or fool, derp has never been a form of diagnosis for people, nor used to classify people based on having an acknowledged disability.0 -

Agreed. I don't like every new coinage and dislike some of the new ways that words evolve, because don't like change or think some are ugly or unhelpful, but the idea that a word is bad because new is so silly.0 -

Derp has been around for 15 years or so - from South Park, as an onomatopoeia effect of the "sound commonly made in a klutzy situation when things go horribly wrong." There was a character with that name in '99. It appears ableist because it has often been associated with visual memes - but in reality, not so much. One might be "full of derp" but not "he is derp".
For those fascinated by language evolution - Word Play is an excellent book. I love how languages evolve - each language I've learned has its own fluidity and visual space. Great stuff, especially when translated literally. "That's cow" or "that's owl" means something in French, not so much in English. (C'est vache ou c'est chouette) I don't use 'woo' or 'derp' much but I see nothing wrong with them.

That's likely due to the OP using a phone with autocorrect. That happens a lot for phone users.
Absolutely the case Wheelhouse! Thank you for your critical thinking0 -

As long as it's text on a picture, I'm going to believe it. That's how one figures out the truth these days, isn't it? Plain text = questionable. Text over a picture = 100% undeniable truth must reblog immediately0 -

Comparing deep and woo to Shakespeare. Thank you soulofgrace.

Ha! If Shakespeare were here, he'd be the first to LOL at that! "If you tickle us, do we not LOL?"
Not comparing. Just a great example of the "organic" nature of language. (In Rabbit's words, thanks!) I love how people use and create language to suit them! And, I've got teenagers, so I have to know what they're talking about.0 -

No, the WATP thread isn't that bad. It's just sad that about any thread has someone who posts something irrelevant and unhelpful and potentially insulting, like the comments in that one about how 'pound loss is achieved through diet' (i.e., not walking) and 'why don't people walk outdoors like I do'. And, again, I'm paraphrasing. It wasn't insulting to me but it can be to the people who post the threads.

Since you're thinking pointing out a diet practice is stupid is somehow an insult to the person who fell for it, I don't think you're an authority on what is unhelpful and insulting.0 -

Perhaps the OP of this thread is insulted that so many people are offended by her choice of the word "woo".
It seems that you are suggesting that if anyone offers a contrary opinion or poses a question that doesn't completely abide by the tone of the original OP, then they are irrelevant, unhelpful, and potentially insulting?
It really is amazing to me that even the simplest level of polite dissension, or further expansion upon a point, is seen as being unsupportive or something that people might be offended by. It should not amaze me, but it does.0 -

more woo and derp stories. 0
-
The saddest woo things to me are people who buy a miracle product and also put in the work to lose weight and then attribute it all to the product.
I have a friend who bought in to Thrive hook line and sinker. She's started going to the gym five days a week and cooking all her meals from scratch, and wonder of wonders, the pounds are coming off... all of which she attributes to the power of a brightly colored bandaid on her arm, not the fact that she's moving more and eating less. And I know her budget is tight, so she's spending money she could really use for, you know, something useful... on stickers. That she's giving credit for her own hard work.
It's depressing.0
