vooting

Well, I did some research on vooting and came up with nothing. So bear with me. The only solid reference to 'voot' I found at urbandictionary.com, but that describes 'voot' as a variant of 'woot' mostly used by girls, for reasons I didn't really understand.

Now, 'vooting' describes the sound, or act of creating the sound of your upper teeth vibrating on your lower lip. It makes a kind of 'vvvvvvvv' sound. Some people can intuitively make this sound, probably even at this moment as you read this. Others, sadly will only show their teeth, and say "vvvvvvv". You see, the voot sound isn't produced with the throat at all. In fact it feels more like you're sending air through your nose and vibrating your upper palette. Perhaps someday, a government subsidiary will fund a scientific research project into the mechanics of vooting... until then these humble illustrations will have to suffice.



That is some random dude vooting. He appears quite good at it...



And this is a self-portrait of myself, vooting. I couldn't really tell you why I look so surprised, I can actually voot quite well.

I couldn't really work it into my fancy paragraphs up there, but I must credit Mr. Ethan Marak as responsible for coining, or at least, relaying the terms 'voot' and 'vooting'. He is also quite good at vooting, if memory serves... I'd link you to his sweet stop motion site, but I can't seem to locate it anymore. Bummer.
