Hmm...guess I wasn't really up to date on the online gaming stuff to know what it meant. I thought (from reading this site way too much) it was because of the all too popular woot.com. Who knew?

This is a very sad day for humanity.

Not nearly as epic as Truthiness. Ohh Steven Colbert you are the man, even for a South Carolianian.

[temke]

so a blend of letters and numbers is being passed off as a "word" by the dictionary people.

 

seriuosly?

 

and we wonder why our education system is the way it is.

 

what is next, pwned?

Welcome to the world of text messaging. Not being a text messager myself, I have a feeling w00t is easier to put in than something that has letters.

Nope, T9 won't know what it is. I think it just shows the power of Internet slang and gaming culture as a real entertainment platform and how it can influence every aspect of our life.

 

I personally am trying to bring back the word "Rad" so yeah.. use it. It shall be 08 word fo the year!

[Diskono]

Didn't the 69 Boyz invent that word?

 

I feel a woot comin' on!

A woot comin' on!

woot! woot! woot! woot!

etc...
