Woo woo woo is not to be mistaken for Homer Simpson's exuberant "woo hoo", nor is it to be mistaken for the joyous hooting that goes on in the presence of strippers or go-go dancers.
Woo woo woo is the ghetto equivalent of "yadda yadda yadda" or "blah blah blah". Sometimes woo woo woo is used interchangeably with the phrase "whatevah whatevah". According to this entry from Urban Dictionary it originated in Chicago:
Woo-woo-woo was made in Chi-Town (aka Chicago) and used by G.D. members. Woo-woo-woo takes place as blah blah blah/and so on/etc.

Our offender, who was not from anywhere close to our town, explained that he came to our mall to look for a likely target because "no offense, but white people is stupid and all, you know, woo woo woo."
Since then I've heard it from a wide variety of downwardly-mobile young people of all races and ethnic backgrounds, ranging in age from 13 to 26.
