Websters Dictionary adds 'w00t'
    #7757753 - 12/14/07 10:16 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

The interweb is taking over the real world.

Quote:

w00t (interjection):
expressing joy (it could be after a triumph, or for no reason at all); similar in use to the word “yay”

w00t! I won the contest!

This year’s winning word first became popular in competitive online gaming forums as part of what is known as l33t (”leet,” or “elite”) speak—an esoteric computer hacker language in which numbers and symbols are put together to look like letters. Although the double “o” in the word is usually represented by double zeroes, the exclamation is also known to be an acronym for “we owned the other team”—again stemming from the gaming community.

I gotta be the first to say it:

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day.”  -- Thomas Jefferson

The greatest sin of mankind is ignorance.

The press takes [Trump] literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally. --Salena Zeto (9/23/16)

I hate this kind of shit.  So much internet slang is just completely retarded.  :rolleyes: 

I'm with Rooster, time to abandon the English language as it drifts off into endless three letter monikers, stupid pointless memes, and needless abbreviations to confuse the hell out of you.  I guess I am not "l33t" enough.

Firefox puts a red line under 'noob' but recognises 'n00b' as legit.

It also underlined 'recognises' right there, I must have a yank browser :grin:

Is that just for the English version, or does it apply to, lets say, Arabic, or whatever?
