Wow!

Roses: Your scenarios are uncannily apt! Yesterday, I presented beef and swede mash to 3 generations in our dining room but without a single 'wow'. They were all too busy eating, talking and (measured!) quaffing.

Later, my pushing 2 of the girls around the garden on a charity shop trike produced un-neighbourly loud screams (of delight) but again, no 'wow's.

I agree that it is unrealistic to expect people to give up 'wowing' but it would be nice if there were 'wow' free zones. I hope non-wowers won't be forced to stand outside in the cold with the smokers to find peace.

I heard a 'wow' on Bargain Hunt today. The item lost a fortune. There is some justice.

Hehe Cunco like aliens who come and take over Earth and implore you Join us! we will soon have you wowing all over the place,
Scene: diningroom/kitchen. OH comes in with Cunco's sausage and mash to a WOW! ?
Scene: Cunco's garden, and C spies the first pink tulip in bloom, ?and WOW!
Give in to it, we all do it now and again.

Exactly, hilda, I'm afraid I can't get worked up about Wowism...

Far better to be upbeat and throw a few Wows about that all the doom and gloom that's about!

I don't care if I sound silly and affected

As I said in my earlier post it covers a lot amazing, wonderful, clever, surprising, delight, and admiration.
I will continue to use it

Now as for saying something is doubly unique or uniquely beautiful

I hate 'Wow' Can't people think of any other word? It is so boring. Even oldish people on television use it and they sound silly and affected

Well, I was obviously too poor or too uneducated to enjoy the world of 'Wow' when a small child. Mind you, I had a very happy childhood so didn't miss out at all.

I can cope with 'Wow' in small doses but it is 'Wow' overload that endangers my tranquillity. If everything is 'Wow' and 'amazing', what's left when we encounter something that is, well, slightly out of the ordinary on the upside?

If I wasn't so fair-minded, I would think there is a populist, 'Wowist' plot, supported by an unholy alliance of the biased Liberal ultras of the BBC and the swing-wing fantabulists of the Murdock press.

Fortunately, I have my feet on the ground.

I use wow all the time, but I do dislike the use of 'woucher' on that TV ad.

I frequently comment WOW ! on photos etc. on FB.
It covers a lot IMHO surprise, delight, admiration.

I use Wow all the time especially to the DGC - like CherryTrees.

Cunco " Wow"has been around as far back as I can remember as a term of pleasure etc,can't you remember back to younger days when all comic books had their characters sporting the word in their comic captions along with "Zap & Kapow" so certainly not a new use of the term.

Very wowist post - I would like to stand up for it.

Steve Jobs last words(reportedly) were,"Wow, oh wow, oh wow!"

Sorry Cunco 'wow' is part of our family life

My small GS's draw me a picture then its a 'wow' from me.
I take them or show them a new experience and it's a 'wow' from them!
WOW = World of Wonder
