Whow

Definition: Interjection. Where “whoa” “wow” and “how?” meet together.

Synonym: Whoat!

Etymology: I was leaving a comment on Leigh’s incredible photo shot with redscale film, and I accidentally typo’ed out “Whow!”

Happening right now on Spudart: Press a leaf in an envelope with the date and story written on it until 2026-10-31

I must take issue with your synonym. While they are certainly related, I think whow and whoat would be used in different contexts. I might say “whoat” when suprised, but say “whow” when in awe… two different situations.
