Censored

WITS is an acronym people typically use to express confusion, disbelief, or frustration. It functions similarly to WTF, but with a more specific focus on questioning something unexpected or absurd (and is less common).

You will likely see the term in online conversations, social media posts, and gaming communities when reacting to strange, frustrating, or nonsensical situations. More specifically, people may use it when responding to bizarre news headlines, expressing frustration in video games, or discussing confusing trends. For example, someone might post, "They really canceled my favorite show after one season? WITS."
