Without searching, do you know the origins of this phrase? Have you even heard of it?

Seems to have fallen out of fashion...

EDIT Please answer the poll BEFORE following luvnvinyl's post!!!!

Crap, don't link it Oz. I meant to specifically point out YOU were the only one I knew who still used it!

The second link is closest to the original term. And of course - it's a Southerner.


And not just any southerner - THE Southerner - Sandy G.

Makes me proud to live below the Mason-Dixon.

SEE, I'm not the only one! :D

Well, I was hoping it wouldn't be... but things are already spinning out of control!

I didn't see any the last time I was there. But, then again, I don't know what one looks like.

That's probably where I read the term. Most likely haven't been around here long enough to have seen the original thread. I thought "wooger" was something like a wooly woofer, kind of like a wooly mammoth, or something like that but most likely not.:no:

I think I need to read those links.

If you go to this thread (http://audiokarma.org/forums/showpost.php?p=496158&postcount=22), you'll get the definitive answer.

BTW, here is a pic of the L300's which spawned the immortal phrase. Ebayer selling these JBL's meant to say the drivers needed 'reconing', but it came out 'racooning'.

Haven't seen it used here in a while, but I remember it well from back in my pre-posting, just-lurking days, and it was still in use for a while after I started posting, too. Eventually just sort of fell out of fashion or something (too many new members?) but I still use it to myself sometimes, when I find speakers like that. Seemed to be one of those "inside terms" that identified an AKer, back then. I recall pdba and I chuckling over the phrase when he first visited here in Hong Kong and we went around looking at old gear, including some woogers that needed racooning! Unfortunately or otherwise, I think the phrase is set pretty permanently to live on in my mind, whether it is actively used here or not. A bit like one of those advertising jingles that you never really forget.

No offense to anyone, but those are SOOO MUCH cooler than the official AK t-shirts. :yes:

Time for each of us to pour another. Lagavulin, neat, for me. What are you having?

Belgian Ale, at the moment.

No, Mark's probably not ignoring you. I think he needs to fix his scroll speed, it seems to be out of adjustment.
