Wuuuuzzzaaaaa!

The sound with each missed shot during the World Cup.  It lasts for about five seconds and doesn't have any meaning.  It's a distinctly Arabic expression, much like 'yella, which can mean about anything you want it to.

In case you were wondering what football commentary is like in Lebanon, now you know.
