'woe-is-me'ing

"Woe is me" is in fact the correct usage, "woe" being the subject of the sentence and "me" being the object. Grammar aside, it is also a direct quote from the Bible and Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is an exclamation of sorrow and misfortune. The verb "woe-is-me"ing is a modern adaptation of this meaning to express said sorrow and misfortune to others. Glorified moaning, perhaps.

Ophelia: "O, woe is me, T'have seen what I have seen, see what I see!" - William Shakespeare, Hamlet. You might almost say Ophelia was 'woe-is-me'ing... if you wanted to make Shakespeare turn in his grave.

Tree of woe

Wrestling maneuver made popular by Kevin Sullivan that involves a wrestler suspending an opponent upside down on a turnbuckle with the opponents back being up against it. To do this the opponents legs are then are then hooked under the top ropes leaving the opponent facing the attacking wrestler upside down. The attacking wrestler will then run at the opponent with a knee or baseball slide. Tree of woe is also a reference to the 1982 movie conan the barbarian.

Oh no Sullivan is on the rampage again he has got his opponent tied up in the tree of woe.
