To those who replied in complete, coherent, and well-structured sentences: Thank you.

You are the last bastions of literate hope in a society suffering under a siege of diminishing expectations.

My only problem with this, is that w00t isn't a word, it's an acronym for "We Owned the Other Team". Was no one around for the days in videogames when we only had a few seconds to type in insults before the next match started?

I know it has since been adopted by ignorant folk as an expression of happiness, but that's no more correct than those that believe the meaning of ironic is coincidental/unfortunate.

Woot came from "wow, loot".
