wot

wot Twitch / Discord emote

Meaning

The "wot" emote features a small white kitten with large, innocent eyes and a slightly confused or surprised expression. This emote is typically used to express confusion, surprise, or disbelief in response to something unexpected or puzzling in a Twitch stream or chat.

The emote captures the essence of a "double-take" reaction, similar to saying "what?" or "excuse me?" when something doesn't quite make sense or catches you off guard.

Origin

The "wot" emote appears to be a third-party emote available through one of the major Twitch extension platforms (7TV, BetterTTV, or FrankerFaceZ). The image features a white kitten with a somewhat bewildered expression.

While specific information about this particular emote's creator or exact origin date isn't widely documented, it follows in the tradition of animal reaction emotes that became popular on Twitch in the mid-to-late 2010s. The emote likely gained popularity due to the inherently expressive nature of the kitten's face, which perfectly captures a moment of confusion.

When to use

The "wot" emote is commonly used in the following contexts:

  • When a streamer says something confusing or contradictory
  • In response to unexpected plot twists in games or stories
  • When someone in chat makes a statement that doesn't make sense
  • During moments of genuine confusion about what's happening on stream
  • As a reaction to surprising announcements or revelations
  • When a streamer or another chatter makes a claim that seems dubious or questionable
