You’re scrolling through your social media messages when you spot a mysterious term: WHU. But what does it mean? Primarily, WHU is a slang term used on platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok to express confusion—it’s like saying “What?” without pronouncing the “t.” Nevertheless, there are a few different ways to incorporate this term into your texts and DMs. Keep reading for a thorough overview of WHU and how to use it, complete with examples!
Things You Should Know
- WHU is an expression of confusion (not an acronym). Rather than standing for an abbreviated phrase, WHU is a slang term meaning “What?”
- Use WHU to show someone you’re confused, to ask them to explain something to you more clearly, or to ask them where they are at the moment.
- WHU also stands for West Ham United (an English football club) and Warcraft Hunters Union (a popular guild for the hunter class in World of Warcraft).
