whooshing

A sound in one's ears or actually in the brain sometimes made by a disease called Tinnitus. Missed deadlines can make the same sound."I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." Douglas Adams, English novelist



Whoosh
Looking in the internet comment section you may see "r/whoosh", or "whoosh" and wonder "wHaT dOeS iT mEaN?".
I got chu.

If you see a dumb comment that completely misses the point of the subject (for example someone not getting/taking a joke), then you type "whoosh" which means it went way over their head!
Example:
Person1: 911 was done by Teletubbies

Person2: lmao

Person3: NO IT WASN'T!!! Why do people keep saying that *gives a long ass theory on what their opinion is*

Person2: r/whoosh!


whoosh
Single word exclamation, accompanied by a gesture where the hand is swept palm down over the head from front to back with about three inches clearance.

Indicates that the joke just told was too sophisticated for the listener and has gone "way over their head".

Sometimes comes to mind when reading feedback on Urban Dictionary quality control.
Example:
2. paris

Capital of North Africa.

(Whoosh!)


whoosh
(n.) the sound of something flying by very quickly, deadlines for instance.

(v.) to pass by very rapidly.
Example:
"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound as they fly by."
- Douglas Adams.

A snowball whooshed past my face, missing by an infinitesmal distance; I let out my battle cry that woke up the whole neighborhood.


whoosh
Something you say to someone who didn't understand the sarcasm/joke.
As if it wen't right over their head or they saw right through it.
Example:
"That christmas sweater looks wonderful jerry.. Even in summer."
"Thank you!"
"Whoosh..."


whoosh
Whoosh is the term to describe an enthusiastic swishing sound, often used when one is talking about something totally unbelievable that perhaps may have zoomed past unbelievably fast, both in a literal or figurative sense.
Example:
"So, like, there was this thing, and it was so fast, man, it was like WHOOSH and then bam! It was gone!"

or

"I dunno, man, I'm totally out of it today. I mean, today somebody was talking to me and everything they said just kept whooshing past me, y'know? Just like whoosh, and stuff."
