Didn't happen 30 years ago, either, at least not for me. Oh well.
But I think I figured it out. They would hang their heads out the window and recite the Gettysburg Address but there just isn't time so they have to "Woo" instead. If you ever hear them go "fourscoreandsevenzooom", you'll know what they were trying to do.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
Generally, whenever a car honks at me (with obvious ill intent) or I get something thrown at me, yelled at, etc. I tend to look up, give them a big smile to look at in their rearview and a nice big wave. They want to piss you off, so it's usually best just to show them you're having a blast. It ruins all their fun and preserves your own.

You gonna eat that?
I have to admit, I wasn't as good as I thought I was. It didn't happen to me back then either.

If I actually listened to myself I'd probably sound just like a crazy person.

I 'Moo' when I pass cows and 'whinny' at horses. After all, they shout "Nice legs!" and "Way to go, Lance!" at me, so fair's fair.

I have a special soft spot for dogs that race along their fences as I ride by; I talk to them, give them the pep speech, and laugh myself silly.
Of course, there's the chihuahua along my commute to work that's not fenced in; aggressive little snot, but he's fun to bark back at!

The weirdest thing somebody yelled at me was "Hey! your wheels are turning! Be careful! Your wheels are turning!"

Chuckle - I had totally forgotten that we used to shout something to cyclists when we were kids! Except it was "Hey Mister, your back wheel's going round". No, it didn't make much sense then either.

People yelling out of cars make no sense to me. Reminds me of the guys in 8th grade gym class. The only reason I've yelled out of a car window is to ask other motorists why they were driving unsafely and not using their turn signals, but it did no good, so I gave it up.

I get this usually in the spring, and it's almost always from carloads of teenagers. It's rarely malicious, and someone I know well was guilty of that a couple of times back in high school when out with friends.

NICE ASS!!! and I then turned back and followed her on their side and for a moment they looked surprised I was keeping up with them and then she started Woooing me again until I just drove away in some other street. Was fun. And I officially have a nice butt. x)

For the record, I don't think anyone has been yelling at me because of my ass. Though it is a object of bifurcated splenditude.

Right after I bought my first bike, a car rode next to me on my ride back to my apartment and asked me if I wanted to buy some pills. After I declined, they just laughed to themselves and drove off.

No Woooooos have been yelled at me, a couple of Woo Hoos, the last one being done by a car load of kids when I did a high speed down hill run to make a green traffic light signal.
