Woost

A Woost is a semi-mythical creature that appears when needed to assist in times of trouble. The word can also be used to describe someone who is unexpectedly helpful as in "What a Woost ..."

Also heard as "Woosty" to describe something that is wonderful, but quite unexpectedly so.

Another name for marijuana, or the act of smoking it. Also, "wooster" is a term used to describe someone who smokes alot of woost.

another word for steal, to take without asking. Origin: a shortning of a shady Santa Barbera dweller's name who has been known to barrow without asking.

The word originated in the late 1960's at the University of Mississippi among a group of ne'er do well undergraduate partners in crime who were known to frequent late night poker games in the men's dorm shower room...when a player was able to sucker someone into matching or raising a large bet to a pat hand, it was said that you were able to 'woost' him...or set him back on his heels unexpectedly and give him some well deserved comeuppance and teach him a lesson....use of the word spread to include football games,debates.etc where it meant to get the best of the opponent in a decisive manner...being one of the originators of the word in the poker games,I will in all humility take at least partial credit for the origination and initial use of the word

A person who acts like a wooste.
