I was just wondering if this is just an arbitrary word used to describe the proposed spiritualistic claims supposedly found in things like meditation, or if it's a shortened down version of a longer word denoting something similar? can anyone enlighten me?.. pardon the pun there lol

WOOOOOOOooooooooooooooowwoooooooooooooooooooo

As in spooky / "spiritual" (tongue in cheek) or pseudo-scientific.

A derogatory term in atheistic circles and an immediate put down.

Thanks for the info man, it's a cool term, definitely gonna be using it where I can from here on out. kind of embarrassed that I didn't already know it, but hey, you learn something new everyday I suppose

No sweat offspring. We of the EAC are happy to help out (since we didn't know about it until getting onto {generic} Atheist Forums )

Does kinda fit though doesn't it??
