woosh
Fast wind sound
Woosh (also whoosh) imitates the sound of something moving swiftly through air or water: The car wooshed past.
It describes any rushing sound—wind, flames, liquid.
As a noun, it's the sound itself: the woosh of the ceiling fan.
In internet slang, woosh indicates a joke flying over someone's head: Woosh, you missed the point entirely.
