WTH is Woot??????

Post by Moonlight Soldier » Tue Sep 09, 2003 3:06 pm

Yes well, being that I'm not in the habit of looking around for forum language and Messenger language....I have a few questions....

1. What is woot....(I have tried deciphering this bloody acronym to no avail...)

2. 133 something something...= :? <----me puzzled and confused

3. Where the heck do you people pick this junk up?? and how is it that you all understand it???!!!!????

*sigh* don't mock me too much....i've succumbed to the dark side...and seem to be genuinely curious....

Woot is an onomatopoeia

1337 is leet which stands for elite.

1. woot, sometimes w00t is like "woo hoo!"
2. 1337 = leet (1=L, 3=E, 7=T), leet is an abbreviation for elite, which is just what someone who types in this language might consider himself or herself
3. the language 1337 has developed in forums much older than this one, as well as online computer games in which you can message other people, like quake, counterstrike, etc. i think it basically started when some geek got bored of typing with typical alphabet letters and decided to substitute it with numerals.
