What
Wot is an informal version of what, derived from British English. It's supposed to convey that the sender is saying what in a humorous British accent.
For example, you may see wot used in the phrases "Eh, wot?," "Wot's all this then?," or "Wot wot." All of these phrases are meant to be read as though the sender is doing an over-the-top British accent (likely, quite poorly).
Example
Yup, that's what wot is

Waste of time
When you think something is not worth doing, you can describe it as "WOT," which stands for "waste of time." People often use it when texting or messaging online about something that seems to be a massive misuse of their time.
There are many instances where you might use WOT, including when complaining about parents' demands to do chores, politicians holding pointless rallies, or assignments from your boss. For example, suppose your boss assigns you and your co-worker, Fred, to track your department's employees' time in the breakroom each day. In that case, Fred may email you to complain about this WOT. A task that is an especially egregious WOT may be labeled a CWOT.
To avoid confusion, keep in mind that people also commonly use "wot" to mean "what."
Example
Hopefully, you don't feel reading this definition was a WOT

Baseball Slang Quiz: Can you bat 1.000?
If you love speed, you've likely heard of "WOT," which stands for "Wide Open Throttle." This term describes when an engine's throttle is fully open, allowing it to reach its highest possible speed (similar to "full throttle" and "pedal to the metal"). Car enthusiasts often use this acronym in texts, online forums, and social media to talk about pushing their vehicles to the max.
The throttle is a device that controls how much air or fuel flows into the engine, directly affecting its power output. When the throttle is closed, the flow is restricted, which reduces the engine's power.
On the other hand, opening the throttle allows more air or fuel to enter, increasing the engine's power and speed. Simply put, "WOT" is all about maximizing an engine's performance by fully opening the throttle, giving the engine everything it needs to run as fast as possible.
