An expression of extreme surprise. It can also be used to describe disdain or reverence, the difference being contextual. Originating from the lower Eastern shore of Maryland (specifically Dorchester county's Hudson region). The root phrase being "Good Lord" which evolved to "Koowit Lord", and ultimately was shortened to "Koowit", is occasionally used as a greeting as well. Similar in usage to Aloha and other colloquial greetings. Other spellings are "Cud't" and the original spelling containing as many O's as the user deems fit to illustrate the level of surprise or disdain. Example: "Koooooooooooooooooowit!"
