What does WOOSH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To move quickly past someone or something with a rushing sound.
Woosh is an informal variant spelling of whoosh, both imitating the sudden rushing noise made by something moving fast through the air, such as a car, an arrow or a gust of wind. Writers often choose the shorter spelling woosh in casual writing, comic strips or dialogue to capture the sound quickly without the extra letter. As a noun, a woosh can also refer to the sound itself, as in the woosh of a passing train. Because it imitates a sound rather than naming a precise action, woosh belongs to the same playful family of words as whizz and swoosh.
