Wonka Word Wednesday (11/9/11)

“What the Wonk!” - (expression) - Similar in origin, form, meaning, and sound to “What da Bump!”, “What the Wonk!” is primarily an expression used to demonstrate great distress or frustration. While common usage is limited to scenarios dealing with a lack of resources (primarily food), “What the Wonk!” can be used in any situation to denote emotions ranging from simple displeasure to uncontrolled rage. “What the Wonk!” should not be confused with confusingly similar “What da Wonk!” which is used to express sadness, pain, or worry. In recent culture, “What the Wonk!” has become far too common and lost much of it’s meaning.
Example - Upon realizing there was no more milk, Krutawn exclaimed, “What the Wonk!”
Note - Unlike most WonkaWords, “What the Wonk!” is not enhanced by the prefix “Willy-” or “William-” however, it still should generally be followed by one or many exclamation points.
Variations - “What the William!” (expression), “What the Wonk is wrong with you?!?!” (expression)
