The Story Behind #WCW: Women Crush Wednesday

WCW has become a cultural "award" or unofficial honor that anyone can bestow on anyone, and the language used in #WCW posts often includes verbs associated with awards, like "goes out to," "deserves," or "has won my #WCW."

Wednesday, aka Hump Day, aka the toughest day of the week.

It’s not the beginning of the week anymore, yet it’s not close enough to be hyped about the weekend. It seems as if daydreaming is at an all-time high on Wednesdays.

That’s probably one of the factors that led to the creation of #WCW or “Woman Crush Wednesday.”

#WCW is when social media enthusiasts post a picture of their current woman crushes on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat or Instagram. It could be a significant other or maybe a celebrity figure that you admire.

Have you been watching movies with Adesua Etomi and got charmed by all her characters, then she qualifies to be your #WCW today.

Let’s not forget that #WCW is supposed to be fun.

Our first #WCW was the charming Helen Paul and then we had popular Actress Adesua Etomi, Omoni Oboli, Amazing OAP, Toolz Oniru,

We really admired these amazing women so much that The #WCW crown was worth the hype to show some love one way and the other and in most cases we got a response each time we did this.

Just a couple of friendly reminders though.

Remember to keep the #WCW post clean and also remember that the excessive use of #WCW may make you look really “thirsty,” as today’s kids would say. That’s a social media hashtag etiquette no-no.
