What is a w00t? Is it similar to a "woo hoo!"? I'd ask elsewhere, but would probably get flamed. Hey, new message icons!

w00t like you said means Woo-hoo or something you approve greatly of.

Like someone says "oh this new game is coming out" ,and if you like the news you go w00t.

Yeah what you said is right.

total w00tage :D

heh
dont try to understand 1337 ;)
before you know it you'll be sucked into the scene [img]tongue.gif[/img]

1337=leet=lite=e-lite=elite

1337=elite

Trust me, it's better to not know leet and just shudder upon sight, otherwise you will soon be talking like this: 0/\/\9 \x/+|= |0| j00 |}33|\| 0\x/|\|3|)

It gets worse....

l33t=lame

Sorry and no offence to any of you l33t lovers, but it (IMHO) really is sad.

Thanks, all. I'm just trying to decode some FPS-speak on other boards.

well, after this you might want to go to some eastern asian forums and look at how we asians type our english. ;)

example, Wai U so laik dat! it's oni fat fat 1 mah!

1337 is another way of saying you're virgin

So that's why you're w00ting all the time ;)

I dont agree with people really getting "sucked" into the scene before understanding "1337" and besides its getting too old .......

ROFLMAO!!! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...s/new/rofl.gif And, have way too much time on your hands!

I337 s0x0r.

w00t originated on Phantasy Star online via the JP players and westerners mixing their terms together, ~W~ for Wai or Watashiwa, and then Hoot hoot hoot, the OOs looked more like 00 because to the JP text all letter Os were HUGE for some reason, and importers thought people were going h00t, and soon people went ~W~ H00T! and soon it became reuced to just W00T! and its popularity was mostly passed around on chatrooms and most importantly: by Megatokyo
