wut

Typed stunned reaction

Wut is an informal spelling of "what," used in texting and online communication to convey confusion, disbelief, or playful incomprehension: Wut did I just read?

The spelling mimics casual or exaggerated pronunciation and often signals a less serious tone than standard "what."
