Are we doing "whoooosh", or leaving that behind?

I'm very ok with leaving that behind. It was pompous and unhelpful. But you can pry the puns from my cold dead hands!
Leave it behind. It fosters an environment that ridicules people trying to fill in information. I always found that subreddit toxic af.
If they only whooshed uppity bastards it would maybe have been ok but it's more of a "huehue guys look he's not getting this obscure in-joke, guys. upvote's to the left".
