Why Woosh?

WTF,  “woosh?”

If you ever meet me, you would hear me say, “woosh” randomly. Why? Well, it started in 2003. I was watching the first Harry Potter film and was intrigued by all the swishing and flicking of the wands. Silly, I know. So I had a dream that I was a witch with a magic wand and said, “woosh.” I am not sure why I didn’t say, “wingardium leviosa” in my dream, (Actually, I am positive I forgot how to say it, so my brain automatically came up with “woosh.”) but I woke up and frolicked around town and said, “woosh.” to a stranger. I am sure he thought I was on something even though I wasn’t.

I started typing, “woosh” on instant messenger to my friends whenever I was bored. Somehow, it caught on to them, especially by my friend, Maren. We started saying it out loud, randomly..but mostly when we were happy about something. It then caught on to more of my friends, and started spreading to Salt Lake City, Utah, where Maren is originally from. Recently, “woosh” made it’s way to downtown Los Angeles.

And the rest is history. I am hoping it will become the next, “that’s hot” phrase and spread throughout the world soon. Hmm, maybe I should copyright that word right now..

Woosh,
