Origin of woot¹

First recorded in 1990–95; origin uncertain

At night they stopped at a house where they were well entertained and where Woot was given a comfortable bed to sleep in.

Woot watched this operation with much interest, for the Scarecrow's body was only a suit of clothes filled with straw.

A knapsack was filled with food and given Woot the Wanderer to carry upon his back, for the food was for his use alone.

Woot could not deny that he was tired, and he slept soundly until morning, when he was given a good breakfast, smoking hot.

And the Scarecrow pushed Woot aside, so that the three travelers stood in a row, staring with all their eyes.
