Now, having finished with the "LOL stuff", seriously: anybody knows what on Earth WOOO means?
Folks, anybody has a book on European markings?

You have to admit it sounds funny, but putting that aside, how does the mark appear? what type of sword?
If we have context it would narrow the field a bit.

Still waiting to hear what context this WOOO is from, why does it have to be European? If we knew what type of weapon this was on it might lead to more serious responses, otherwise it still just sounds funny.

European mameluke-type sword with brass pistol-type handle, non-fullered blade marked WOOO ( W.O.O.O.?)
It's active, and I cannot show pics.
