Who
Gives
A Shit and
Wicked
Weed
Out
Question
Actually, the second was originally named
Wacky
Weed
Out
Question. It referred to any question that seemed greatly over-valued (usually seemed to crop up at the $8,000 level)- a question that wouldn't be your ordinary piece of trivia that could be learned or casually picked up. A "you either were paying attention when it happened, or you'll never learn it"-type question.
But some people prefer
Wicked.
Poster's preference, I guess.

Do you have evidence that Wacky was the
original name? I'll accept a reading from our Bored Historian's notebooks.

No evidence- I myself had forgotten what WWOQ stood for, and asked about it a couple of weeks ago.
But when someone told me the first "W" stood for "Wacky", that set off a vague recollection in my mind of when the term was first used.
