What body part is the kitten that everyone here refers too or what is it?
Also, is woo good or bad?

    But yes, Woo is supposed to mean "to good to be true" which I don't think many people have heard it used like that.

    *kitten* is the profanity filter at work.

    This is a copy and paste of when they introduced the Woo option by MFP staff member Nova (a lot of people use it more as an astonishment versus the negative intention MFP had). As mentioned it was something the MFP members voted on ... :

    Hey folks!!

    Thank you to everyone who participated in our poll for a new reaction. We had a very clear winner.

    The winning vote goes to... Woo!

    Since Woo is a different type of reaction than anything we've enabled in the past, we're going to start this off in beta mode.

    In our community Woo means that you think an idea or approach is too good to be true.
    We hope you enjoy the new reaction!!

    I am still very confused about the kitten. I have seen it used in a sentence in many ways.. "What did the kitten weigh today?"
    "How is the kitten doing?"
    "I like the kitten."

    Kitten is code for curse word. F---, B----, etc. :wink:

    curse words get filtered on this site - it used to just show up as ***** but a few years ago they made it *kitten* as an april fools joke, people liked it, so it stuck.

    when woo was originally instated it had two meanings - too good to be true, or woohoo. You used it whichever way was applicable. Then they changed it to only mean too good to be true. And lots of people still use it as woohoo anyways, and new people often use it however they want since it has a pretty confusing meaning. Don't overthink woos, IMO too many people are driving themselves crazy over the woo button

    But why would someone say, 'What did the "B...." weigh today? Lol, it just doesn't make sense. Maybe I am overthinking it.

    You had to have seen a different sentence like "What the *kitten* did you weigh today" (which sounds really odd because no one would say that)

    Thanks for the Woo explanation. I thought it was bad, the smilies on the mobile app looks a bit baffled.
    Figured out quite fast what the *kitten* kitten means. :smiley:

    Just replace kitten with the most applicable curse word. All curse words turn into kitten.
