What is WoB

[mthorp25 he/him]

I know i am a newbie, and this entire site is completely intimidating with the size and sheer amount of information.... but i have no idea what , "WoB" stands for, and i keep seeing it everywhere. 

 

Thank you for your help.

Words of Brandon. WoB's are answers to questions that Brandon has given. There are also WoP's, Words of Peter, which are much much rarer, but still very valuable.

[Voidus]

It's derived from the more generic term 'Word of God', but yeah, Word of Brandon is just a direct quote from Brandon explaining some aspect of the cosmere or one of his other works.

Most can be found on Theoryland if you're interested in perusing them.

They are cake for Realmatic Theorists.

~The Wob, which is a wavy, chin or shoulder sweeping look, enhances tousled tresses with effortless romantic curls, easily heating up the day or night — and celebrity stylists are loving it for being youthful and easy to style.~

Don't forget PAFO (Peter and Find Out).

And, did you know about the secret WAFO cards that Brandon keeps for himself? (Write and find out )

While I was watching Star Wars VII with warriormark, who had seen it before, I asked him a question about one of the characters. He told me WAFO. (Watch and find out)

There is also WoK, WoR, WoA, HoA, AoL, subsequent translations being: "Way of Kings" "Words of Radiance" (the first two installments of the Stormlight archive) "the Well of Ascension" "the Hero of Ages" and last but not least "the Alloy of Law". I'm sure that more abbreviations will be used in future, but for now these are the ones that I have seen used. I'm not making any of these up.

Well if we're adding book abbreviations then M:SH, BoM and SoS (Mistborn: Secret History, Bands of Mourning and Shadows of Self respectively) Should be mentioned from Mistborn, I've very occasionally seen someone abbreviate Warbreaker to WB and Shadows for Silence in the forests of Hell is usually shortened to Shadows.

I'm pretty sure I once saw someone use SfSitFoH.

Same here! I'm usually so excited I superspeedread the books too so I miss loads of stuff and get so confused about things in discussions ^^;
