Hewwo

A cute, kaomoji-esque face used to indicate curiosity or playful flirtation, especially in furry, anime, and Discord roleplay spaces. The two 'o's are the wide eyes and the 'w' is a tiny mouth. Closely related to UwU. 'OwO what's this?' became a viral copypasta from a 2010s furry skit, spreading widely on Discord and Twitch chat.

(Internet slang, humorous) A form of ironic childish text on the Internet intended to convey cuteness or innocence, produced by replacing certain letters, such as r and l with w, using childish terms, kawaii expressions and emoticons, such as uwu, owo or kaomoji.

A theatrically old-fashioned variant of "wow", used in modern internet contexts as deliberate camp — the speaker is performing surprise rather than being surprised. Standard register in Twitter quote-tweets that mock pretentious posts, in TikTok comment sections under flexes, and in self-aware reactions to one's own absurd circumstances. Often paired with a flat 1950s-newsreader cadence.

An internet emoticon and slang term representing a cute, tender, or overwhelmingly affectionate facial expression — the 'u' characters suggest closed, happy eyes and the 'w' is a cute animal-style mouth. Associated with anime fandom, furry communities, and generally soft, saccharine internet culture. Deployed sincerely in those communities and ironically or mockingly outside them. Often used as an adjective or exclamation conveying maximum cuteness.

A baby-talk/uwu-speak rendering of 'club' or 'love' depending on context. Part of the same 'uwu speak' ('e's become 'w's, 'r's become 'w's) used to make text seem softer/cuter. Most common on Discord roleplay and furry servers. Often used parodically.
