"Wut face" is an internet slang term used to express confusion, surprise, or disbelief. It's typically used in online chat forums, social media, and gaming communities to specify a reaction to something unexpected or perplexing. The term comes from the "WutFace" Twitch emote, which shows an exaggerated, surprised facial expression of Alex Mendez (a.k.a “Goldenboy”), a Twitch.tv host and commentator.
The image is often used in reaction to something that's happening on the screen during a stream that could be considered strange or unnerving. Whether used in gaming chat or in other online conversations, "Wut face" essentially serves as an electronic version of a perplexed or surprised facial expression.
