What does wow mean?

[GON]

Wondering if the dictionary definition of WOW, and my personal understanding of WOW, does not align with BITOGers definition of WOW.

For me, WOW can mean many things. Just like words fascinating and interesting.

Below are a few dictionary definitions:
-You can say `wow' when you are very impressed, surprised, or pleased.
-(an exclamation of surprise, wonder, pleasure, or the like) Wow! Look at that!
-to excite to enthusiastic admiration or approval

And @Pablo personal definition of WOW- Short for Whipped, Owned and Wrapped. Refers to when a guy is so totally dominated by a woman that he is whipped and owned by her and wrapped around her finger.

Wow, could you be bit more concise? Wow as an utterance or as an acronym?

That was GLOW- Gorgeous Ladies of Wresting. Went on a date with a GLOW wrestler in the 1980s.

"Wow" can also refer to the characteristic of record players where the turntable was crooked and could cause a warbling effect on the recording.

Fabulous TV show by the way (GLOW). Covid killed it or it would have become even bigger. At least three solid seasons. Check it out if you don’t know it.

to me wow is World of Warcraft. a video game. if you write wow in google search, it is the first thing that will pop up.

I think of wow in a bit broader sense.
Certainly can be a positive expression of excitement, approval, etc. But it can also be an exclamation of astonishment (even in a negative manner, such as hearing a derogatory or defamatory comment) ...... "Wow - dude, that was uncalled for."

World of warcraft!

 

[skyactiv]

When I was growing up, wow was used as a negative connotation by teenage girls and young women.

Why Do We Say Wow?

You probably say 'wow' at least once a day, but haven't put too much thought into the origin of 'wow.' Turns out, it's a word that goes back very far.
