yow

A particularly bad meme that causes one to insert 'yow' into speech to indicate or imply that some pain results from the statement, or that mild suprise is involved.

I just got a $90 phone bill. Yow.

Yow, I saw my highschool math teacher at the WalMart.

I believe Zippy the Pinhead is an early originator of this meme.

Yow is a useless little emacs command (M-x yow) that prints out a Zippy the Pinhead quote from the file yow.lines. Similar to fortune, but much less lucid. Also available as a stand-alone program.

For all sorts of fun, try M-x psychoanalyze-pinhead and pit Eliza against Zippy.
