What is it? Leetness?
And what does it mean?

[Absolute]

Slang for "eliteness", often used by idiots who think they're hackers but actually are afraid to touch the windows 95 control panels for fear that they'll break something. See somethingawful.efront.com/jeffk for and example of the latter.

So, basically it is something used by people who want to think they're great, but are really nothing special.
Thanks for replying so quickly.

What's worse:
Kids at my school are new to what they call the "cool" part of the internet: message boards and online gaming.
So they see the word 1337 (leet) a lot. The funny part is they didn't know what it was. One day, I heard one of them call me one thirty-three seven. I kinda looked at him funny, but then I realized what he was talking about. Boy, I had a good laugh at everyone's expense.
That sure was one of those moments that made me realize how much better I am than all of them.
