Woo!

Woo! Say it with me, woo! Doesn't that just make your less than thrilling day just a bit more exciting?

My family was watching Wheel of Fortune one night and we became amused by one of the contestants. When it was his turn and he was winning, woo! flew unhindered from his mouth.

"Woo! Can I have an N please, Pat? Woo!"
"Sure, there are two N's"
"Woo! Woo! I'd like to spin, woo! Can I have a T please? Woo!"
"Why yes, you may. Vanna, please show him the T."
"Woo!"

That honestly was not an exaggeration, the man was one excited woo! machine. So, what does my family do, we began to woo! Dad says woo! I woo! Glory woo's! Then Jetta woo's! We entertained ourselves through the commercial break and the rest of the game show, wooing successively like a nest of delighted baby owls at feeding time.

That became the theme of the night, though we began fitting woo! into a random sentences or wooing when we liked something. "Woo! This is good ice cream." "I love you, woo!" "Wife woo! Will you take this glass to the sink while you are heading that way?"

Of course, to take the ridiculous to the extreme, Woo! is now an acceptable greeting in our home. Woo! Can be heard iminating from the bathroom after a particularly long trip or when someone has completed their homework. And it's not enough that woo is shouted, it is necessary for all hearing said woo! to repeat the outburst with gusto and the original wooee to repeat back any echos until the woo! storm eventually passes.

Why, you ask yourself seeing once again the rampant insanity which is quite normal in the Barganier household?

I submit to you a simple answer. Woo! Why not?
