# love how you come on
to tell us we personally suck,
and then apologise for the size of your image.
Especially when 'woo' and 'yay' weren't invented by b3ta.

# still
B3ta did invent the wonderful combination of the two to specifically refer to an amusing or artfully done image/picture, as well as the suffix 'houpla' for additional congratulations.

# true
but its annoying when someone goes 'I just heard someone in the supermarket say 'woo!' - he must have been a b3tan'. They could just have been a little bit poofty...

# The origin of woo
12 years ago Rob and Joel used to be flatmates. They also lived with a Polish Scouser called H ugo Grek who would spend a lot of his time jumping up and down and shouting "woo" - this is the origin of woo.

100% OF FACT

# ... only in the context of jumping up and down
I reckon "woo" is even older than Rob`s 45 years on this earth

# that'll be why its appeared on b3ta ever since

# Yes
that's all true. though the memetic spread of woo only really happened on b3ta. prior to that, it was the preserve of a small group of cogniscenti
