What is the origin of this word How did it come to be synonymous with skeptics? I don't think the origin of woo has ever been nailed down, but i suspect op's first definition was the original meaning Since that implies the second usage is simply metaphoric, you can hardly argue against it on the grounds of possible confusion I think it's perfectly good (and only very slightly flowery) use of language The usage they act a bit overly seems daft to me
What is the difference between coquette and flirt They seem to mean the exact same thing Is it only their historical or etymological baggage that determines different usage? 3 i've seen wee woo used for all types of sirens, including ambulance and fire It was the unmistakable sound of a police car siren Is there a word for someone who always tends to be the catalyst to conflict, then backs out of said conflict with a victim mentality
3 i like the one suggested by the ud Is the sound a siren makes It is used in jest, to make fun of police cars, fire engines, ambulances, anything with a siren, really Anyway i don't think there is an 'official' one. I recently became aware of "boy howdy!" And figured it was some kind of rural expression of enthusiasm, but i want a bit more clarity
My first encounter was in a western novel
