Wahooo

I decided to google this term the other day because it was more interesting than doing whatever work I was supposed to (note: this post has nothing to do with running). Turns out, there is a Wahooo Swim Monitoring System, which has apparently established "a new standard for aquatic safety and drowning detection". The Wahooo SMS might come in handy at the Wahooo Water Park Bahrain (looks fun).

Woo-hoo is apparently the more accepted spelling of the term. According to Merriam-Webster, it is used to express exuberant delight or approval, and its first known use was in 1981 (seriously, (1) no one said this before the early 80's and (2) there's a dictionary definition for this term?!?). Also, "Whoo hoo" was apparently an advertising campaign introduced by Washington Mutual in 2008.

Back to work (boohoo)! #20

  1. Also the term "wahoo" is reserved for the very feisty and delicious salt water fish, Acanthocybium solandri:
