Please allow me a moment. How do you feel about the expression "Whoot, Whoot!"? Please for all that is good in this world tell me you dislike it as much as I do. First, there are multiple spellings floating around out there, either Woot or Whoot. I have no clue which is correct and will not take time out of my busy day to inquire from Websters about it. Now I don't know if it is the fact that a certain someone in my office LOVES to say that after every little thing, if it is the person that says it, or if it seems ridiculous that a 40-something person says it all the time and fist-punches the air. The bitterly sad part about this is that most of us in our office now say it as much as this certain person in an "I am making fun of that expression" kind of way because it has been said so much. We even got this person a card for her birthday that had an owl saying "Whoot, Whoot" on it and she framed it for her office, you heard me!
I was enjoying shopping at my happy place, King of Prussia http://www.kingofprussiamall.com/, on Saturday and at Nordstrom's at the jewelry counter there was a necklace in packaging that actually had the words "Whoot, Whoot!" on it. I was shocked, appalled, and sickened that it has now crept into marketing materials.
OK, I am done now. Next time I will discuss why this same person also says "Do you hear what I'm, sayin" after every sentence. Ponder that one for awhile.
P.S. The best part is that my spellcheck just went crazy with the Whoot, Whoot in this post. It is somehow deeply satisfying.
