Wonka Word Wednesday (2/1/12)

“What da Wonk!” - (expression) - Easily the least used WonkaWord for its importance, “What da Wonk!” is primarily used in situations of fear, pain, or utter hopelessness.  The reason for its extreme under-use is the difficulty common wonkarers have in saying it correctly.  Proper pronunciation involves speaking the phrase slowly in a monotonic warble.  Go ahead, try it! “What da Wonk!” is by far the most situation specific WonkaWord and therefore its utter rarity is to be noted; however, whenever “What da Wonk!” is heard in public it either draws great compassion or extreme confusion, causing the hearer to not recognize its existence.  While this is a serious problem for most wonkarers, it is also the reason behind the creation of this list of WonkaWords--to promote the subtleties of Wonkessence.

Example - Upon walking into the dark and spooky house, Krutawn declared, “What da Wonk!”

Note - Unlike most WonkaWords, “What da Wonk!” is not enhanced by the prefix “Willy-” or “William-” however, it still should generally be followed by one or many exclamation points.  Also, it’s important to note that “What da Wonk!” should not be confused with “What the Wonk!”, which is used in situations of disgust and anger.

Variations - “Oh my William!” (expression), “What da Wonk Tonk!” (expression)
