As stated upthread, a 'Disagree' button would be succinct and non-offensive to most. Except snowflakes who get their jimmies in a jam over every little thing, but that will never change regardless.12

Is that akin to getting your panties in a wad? Because that is most uncomfortable!8 -

My goal for the day - To tell someone to not get their jimmies in a jam.

Personally I think I get some woos because some people are low in reading comprehension. Instead of asking for further clarification of a comment, they give a woo.1

This made me laugh more than it should have...

How I don't understand the meaning of 'hug'! To me it's 'ah hug, you're upset' etc, I see it as supportive rather than good/bad. A high five is more 'awesome' to me.2

It's hard to believe I have garnered 99 woos already. As long as we don't get "banned" based on # of woos I really don't care. At one point I think it was debated about doing something along those line.
I think it's a bit passive aggressive to woo someone because you disagree with them and then not state your point of view but the button is there and it's free speech and all that.

I don't like that you have 99 "woos", you now have 100.7

Hmm. I have literally never heard the term "woo" used as a synonym for BS or anything negative. That isn't a dictionary definition of the word woo. The emoji looks like surprise to me. I absolutely interpreted this as a cheer, like "woohoo!". If MFP means this to be a negative response, then it should be a very clearly negative emoji like a thumbs down, or it should be a term universally recognized as negative. I've clicked "woo" on posts and always meant it as positive.
Anyway, I'm glad I saw this post. I'll stop using the woo button.2 -

Ya. About half of them are from folks just piling on. Lol. Thanks. I was feeling unwooed there for a while.1
