Wicky woo (n.) 


The sensation of loss that you feel when, having decided to have a cup of tea, you inexplicably change your mind and turn the kettle off. 

Abstracting the whole concept of wicky woo it can be seen that the paradigm applies to many other occasions in our daily lives. Like, for example, walking one way and then inexplicably turning around and walking a different way, wondering why it is that you were walking the original way in the first place. In fact, anything that involves a change of heart very shortly after making a determination, and the resultant feeling of temporary emptiness that this gives you, can be referred to as a source of wicky woo.
