Being English, I should like to know what 'Woot' actually means.

Please can someone clarify

Not entirely sure but it seems to be some kind of Online first-person shooter battlecry.

I've heard ppl use w00p! before now as well, but I thikn that may have been an ironic geek-joke on woot (w00t)- since woop stands for Windows Object Oriented Programming.

Anyway, everything I ever n33ded to know about l33t I learned from Megatokyo.

j0.

Go to the art forums sometime...my gf Merekat hangs her hat there. ^_^

And just to be somewhat on-the-off-topic, Greece was actually one of the places I've wanted to visit for years...guess it just got knocked off MY list (most fascist states are

). Can you believe they actually arrested tourists with electronic games? Probably not Americans, or there would have been an even bigger stink by now.

W00t is a exclamation of joy, as in "w00t! I just used my l33t hax0r skillz to lay some mad smack down on j00!"
I think its particularly stupid for some 12 year old who knows nothing about computers at all to claim to be a "l33t hax0r". I mean, I only build computers and write programs, but I don't play counterstrike, so I guess I am not a "l33t haxor"

Not fasciast; probably just desperate.

Sad to see that americans are now labeling any state that doesn't fit in with its views faciast.

Edit: El Scoffo, you forgot to add an extra w to the link.

indeed, since i have [wiseassery] NEVER [/wiseassery] heard any ridiculous slang come out of the UK, youre probably not used to such things.

seriously tho, the internet has done nothing for the world, if not helped us to further bastardize lanugage.

yeah, most Americans are royal jackasses when they travel abroad. i would imagine there is a stink most times forign authorities try to talk to one.

and i have it on good authority that the National Socialist Party didnt have ANY VIDEO GAMES AT ALL. so you're right, Greece is doing their level best here to emulate Facism.
