What is woosah?

"Woosah" is a term often used to describe a state of calmness or relaxation. It gained popularity from its use in the 1995 movie "Bad Boys," where the character Captain Howard, played by Joe Pantoliano, uses it as a technique to calm down and manage stress, involving deep breathing and saying "woosah" while rubbing the ears.

In a broader sense, "woosah" can refer to any method or practice aimed at reducing stress and promoting relaxation. People might use it in various contexts, from casual conversation to mindfulness practices, to describe the act of taking a step back and finding peace amid chaos.

Additionally, the term has found its way into popular culture and is sometimes used in lifestyle brands or products designed to promote tranquility and well-being. However, its primary use remains as a colloquial expression for calming oneself.
