Note
A regular -ed form doing double duty for the simple past and the perfect, carrying every sense of the verb behind it. Without an object it pairs naturally with a direction: whooshed past, whooshed into the sky. With an object it means sent speeding (she whooshed the papers off the desk), and figuratively a point can have whooshed past someone. In Multicultural London English slang it means shot, a use best kept out of other registers.
