George C Scott as Patton and WTF -- wtf?

IMDB.com was of no help, and googling for ‘wtf’ is always an exercise in futility, so I turn to you, fellow Dopers, and beseech your wisdom.

Last night I watched Patton for the first time. Good movie, classic epic, I can see why it got a pile of Oscars. However, at the start of the movie, something caught my eye and I giggled helplessly.

When Patton is arriving in Tunisia, he’s part of a small convoy of three vehicles - a halftrack and two jeeps. The halftrack has two flags above the headlights; one with two stars (which I suspect is due to his being at the time a two-star general) and one with white text on a black background reading “WTF”.

Of course, I promptly went into multiplayer strategy game mode and said “Patton WTF j00 n00b camper! panzer whore!” Once I settled down, I began wondering just wtf WTF meant. Did anyone see this in the movie, and can anyone explain this?

WTF does j00 and n00b and in this context camper mean?

In many online games, most especially first-person shooters and strategy games, there is a type of player who engages in l33t-speak trashtalk. A camper is a type of player who picks one spot and does not move from it.

Translated to English, that phrase would read “wtf, you newbie camper!”, probably spoken by the aforementioned l33t-speak player after he was just killed and feels it was quite unfair.

Thanks.
