JWU means "Just Woke Up." It is a concise expression widely used on social media and in text messaging to indicate that the sender has just woken up. It usually implies that the sender is catching up on communications missed during sleep, but is also often used by "oversharers" and others who feel the need to talk about the minutiae of their lives on social media. For example:

  • JWU and saw your message. Will call in 10 minutes.
  • Sorry for the late reply, JWU!
  • JWU to a beautiful morning and wanted to share this view with everyone.
