Oh, and one other use of woo... the "ha-ha, aren't I funny?" use when people woo all the posts in a thread about woo.
Yes all true, and in chit chat it is also used to mean “I don’t like you.”
*sigh*... didn't know this thread was in chit-chat

I like posting and contributing here, but I find the woos a little disheartening because I'm not precisely sure what they mean ... Even if it's something fairly moderate like 'too good to be true', that's also a bit insulting because I'm very honest in my posts ...
Don't give the "woo" feature more value than it's worth. Honesty on these forums is scroungy at best, as readers are reading with puffed up contempt and disbelief. When you figure that ONLY THEIR POSTS, EXPERIENCES, DEDUCTIONS, FUNNIES, OPINIONS etc are the only valid views to them & their groupy immature cliques, their pathetic votes carries little weight. They are the big boy/girl bullies on the interwebs - woo-hoo lifetime achievement.
Don't give their pettiness the power it doesn't deserve. They know it affects many in here, which is laughable. If they haven't seen a koala in real life, guess what? Koalas are fictitious. That tab needs an ignore feature.
I have disabled the notifications feature. Prevents me from giving depressives power over my posts. Good or bad, I don't see it, I don't care.13 -
I take it as bad, I get wooed all the time too

I’m not accepting that definition. I hereby declare woo is a positive thing which means
“woo hoo! Good job! Alright! Nice going!”
Woo me all you want!

@CoffeeAndContour agrees with you.2 -
I just realized MFP still lets you posts gifs. My favorite sarcastic woo is now this.

Well despite my more than 3000 woos, i have never given one to anybody.......those that dislike me dont move the needle enough for me to care, and posts i find to be either ridiculous or ignorant, i just scroll on by. Hey, who knows what that person may be dealing with? I just shake my head and move on to attend to real life issues15

Really? Never? I have mostly woo’d pseudoscience and judgemental people. I MAY have given a petty woo once or twice as well. I’m a little ashamed of those.5 -
Hugs and understanding for the "petty woo."3

Unbelievable to conceive to not woo at all. I have woo'd Noah, just as he woo'd me back on the Avengers discussion, my woo count went from zero to 306 in one night. :laugh:
No harm, no foul. We disagreed. Shrugs. Numbers aren't badges of honour.4 -

I would rather put my name on a disagreeing comment then anonymously tell someone they're a tool with a woo ......13 -

I don't get why this hasn't been addressed yet by The Powers That Be. it's ALWAYS causing confusion and then someone has to link to the explanation of what is woo.
I used to think it was woohoo too, especially because it comes between like and hug - so obviously, if it's between like and hug, it MUST mean WOOHOO, right?
I agree with the thumbs down thingy instead.

Dreams really do come true!1 -
A lot of people press the "Woo" in the beginning thinking it is a positive response. I know I did 😞 It wasn't long before I stumbled upon a post telling me differently. I have collected many myself.5
