The 'Whoosh' meme, often spelled 'Woosh', represents the sound of a joke flying over an oblivious person's head. Its origins are deeply rooted in Reddit culture, specifically the r/woooosh subreddit, which serves as a repository for people who fail to grasp sarcasm or satire. The visual usually depicts a simplified diagram showing a joke as a projectile passing high above a person's head. It has evolved into a universal internet shorthand for calling out someone who takes a literal approach to an obvious joke. Whether used in comment sections or as a standalone image, the meme perfectly captures the frustration and humor of social misunderstandings in the digital age.
