w00t!!!

~had to...but that is pretty cool man!

Vicious · 12-12-2007, 03:10 PM

lol it's just one of those words like "bling-bling" that probably shouldn't be words

SmellyCat · 12-12-2007, 04:06 PM

Woot was so 2005, for me anyways.

I enjoy "'blamestorm,' a meeting in which mistakes are aired, fingers are pointed and much discomfort is had by all."

Well after "bling" was introduced into the dictionary, people stopped using it.

BinaryLife · 12-12-2007, 06:08 PM

Yeah, w00t being in the dictionary sickens me a little.

uBeR · 12-12-2007, 08:33 PM

Stupid choice by Merriam. Besides, w00t is way beyond its prime.

Iggy · 12-12-2007, 10:48 PM

I weep for the future.

Hawk Eye · 12-12-2007, 11:22 PM

Oh dear god no.

w00t would be the first word under W for a dictionary.

But seriously, does anyone actually use "1337", "l33t", or any variation of the "language" any more? Even in gaming?

Ihmhi · 12-13-2007, 01:17 AM

Sarcastically, yeah...

Ownage is a word that should have been in there before w00t IMO. ):<

Who the hell uses "w00t" these days?

Circuitous · 12-14-2007, 12:32 AM

Wait, you mean dictionary editors aren't up-to-date with the gaming subculture?

Innoc · 12-14-2007, 12:54 AM

Vicious · 12-14-2007, 01:15 AM

StatisticZ · 12-14-2007, 02:03 AM

Mooga · 12-14-2007, 04:54 AM

w00t!

Heed · 12-14-2007, 02:05 PM

I always thought that w00t was derived from "Way awesome loot!" from Everquest and previous RPGs. Hmmm...

But yeah, W00t!

RiEmuKUpl@ · 12-14-2007, 11:50 PM

w00t? I've always used it as a l33t1f13d 'what', is there something wrong with me?
