w00t

“I read a news story the other day saying that "w00t" was so popular among online gamers and todays society that it may be considered as a word for the dictionary.

I just want to go on record as saying that I used "woot" many many times starting several years ago...so there.

Lizs can back me up on this...”

“yep, I'm a w00ter too.”

“You introduced me to it!”

“Woot the fook are yoo tooking aboot?”

“LOL Woot !”

“i've been using woot for several years. probably used it here a time or two.”

“depending on who you talk to it means ...

in gaming - We Owned the Other Team
in RPGs - Wow, Loot.
some people like to say its from > whoot, there it is" or from Root in computer language.

I go with the We Owned the Other Team”

“Stew, could you pluuuuuuuueze tell me what "woot" means? I've asked my kids and they just laugh at me.

So I just started using words like "groovey" and "gasser" and "don't have a cow" to get them back and they look at me like I have a third eye.

What's a parent to do?”

“ducttape, that woot was founded in 2004, w00t! started before that.”

“Now I am more confused than ever.”

“Woot means something good just happened”

“Oh, groovey!”

“if you were redneck, you'd say ... YeeHaw
if you are religeuos you say ... hallelujah
If you were a valley girl you'd say ... Like OMG!
If you are a gamer you say ... w00t! I pwned your sorry ass.

“Yep, w00t = something good happened.

w00t is a gamer thing. It goes back to desktop RPG games but it became common with online gaming and l33t-speak.”

“Are regular "woot" and gamer "w00t" two different things?”

“Not really, it's just used in slightly different contexts. Nowadays it's pretty much the same.”

“So first there was the word "woot," and then someone online spelled it with zeros to make it a gamer thing...but they mean the same thing?”

“woot = good. Got it.

With my luck, now that I know the meaning, they will start using some other word!”

“l33t (pronounced leet, short for elite) is nothing more than a nerdy way to spell a word with a bit of slang thrown in.

Substitute w00t or woot for "Hell yeah"
Same difference.

“Yeah I know what "woot" means, I've heard of that for a billion years. If they put "w00t" in the dictionary, I'd think they would first have to have the regular "woot," since "w00t" is just a derivative of that.”

“l33t pwnage...........w00t”

“the reason kids use numbers for letters and weird spellings of words is for text messaging. I hate it when they use it with full keyboards.”

“Ha, Michael..I never saw the word til you wrote it here on TT..So there..lol”

“I think that there are already enough words in the English language to express one's thoughts accurately and concisely without adding crap like "w00t".”

“Lewis Carroll would disagree.”

“Like OMG! I've learned so much today, like cool!”

“I'm old school.

I prefer a good HIP! HIP! HURRAH!”

“Spirit, you can take off that mask. We know who you are.”

“yo, owl, did you say that when they added "cool"?”

“Shove IT Sarge :) and I mean that in the most kindest, lovingest way.”

“Here here, Hyway.
Smashing good repartee.
Bully on you!”
