WW

When you're headed in the incorrect direction, WW stands for "wrong way." You might receive this acronym from friends, family members, or co-workers, when they realize you've whiffed on following their directions. (Or, they're trying to prematurely stop you from going the WW.)

Gamers might also receive WW in gaming chat, when their teammates see they are going the wrong way. For example, if you take off in the wrong direction for a boss battle, the rest of your party might tell you that you're going the WW.

WW stands for Wonder Woman. Considered by many to be the greatest female superhero of all time, Wonder Woman first appeared in comics in 1941 and has gone on to star in several notable films and TV shows.

Depictions of the Amazing Amazon have varied over time, but most media portray Wonder Woman as a superpowered princess who hails from Themyscira (also known as Paradise Island). Sent to teach Man's World the power of peace and harmony, Wonder Woman wields her indestructible bracelets and Lasso of Truth both solo and as a member of the Justice League.

Computer users may refer to a wrong window on their screen as "WW." The window could be an application window, file explorer window, system settings window, or some other window.

Advanced computer users and IT professionals are most likely to use WW, while providing assistance to other users. The acronym can be especially helpful when providing real-time feedback via online chat.

However, novice users will likely be unfamiliar with the WW acronym. So, you may advanced users may confuse novices further by shortening wrong window to WW.

While gaming, your opponents may send you WW after you've won a particularly well-fought match. This acronym stands for "well won," and it's a sign that you've encountered a polite oppo who respects your play.

If you receive WW, it's good etiquette to respond with GG or WP. This lets your opponent know that you also enjoyed playing against them.
