synonymous is the word I was trying to write
Ah yes, the thread where Canthearya proclaimed me her hero.
(Scroll down for the massively-multiposted song.)
From my undestanding, it’s an acronym used in online gaming…it means “We Owned the Other Team”.
Thanks Sunspace.
Does anybody still use “Yabba-dabba-doo!”? 
I understand elite speak and woot.
but what the fuck does “kekeke” mean?
Isn’t “kekeke” the arabic equivalent of “giddyup”, but for camels?
Did anybody ever use it? ;)

I have a shirt that says “w00t!” and I wear it all the time. Its one of those things where people look at you and have a confused look on their face, and others get it and yell it out in publc.
[hijack] I also have a shirt that says “Will Frag for Bandwidth” that I wear frequently. Its got a little stickman with a rocket launcher or a chaingun or something. man. you should see the reactions from THAT shirt. RedDragon60 had some postits and a pen one day at school and changed it to “Will Fag for Manwidth”…definately did NOT wear that for more than a minute. lol [/hijack]
telling you now, woot, wOOt, WOOT, and w00t are NOT WORDS!!! the only proper spelling of it is w00t!. you MUST put an exclamation point following it.
It started out as “woohoo” but then was shortened to “woo” then eventually the t was added on…then came the 133t phase and C ]-[ 4 || 6 3 o| i7 411 4 |2 0 || o| till it was “w00t!” as we know it today. I believe www.thinkgeek.com explains it there. (sidenote, thats where I got those shirts at)
Rubber out
-133t r0x0r’5 y0ur b0x0r!
Max: Ok, a serious more basic reply from someone not in the computer biz that was also mystified by all this until lately (but at risk of ruining the fun here): a lot of this stuff comes from the circles of on-line gaming 15 year old nerds that have developed their own spelling trends (and are made fun of by older programmers, perpetuating the trend as a joke). Often letters or numbers and spellings are replaced by things that look like them: for example 1337 or something is used for “elite”: get it? L-eet? So one has 1337 5k1z or something for elite skills (of COURSE I don’t know how they spell this stuff). Also common misspellings are made humorously canonical, like “Pron” for porn, or “teh”, etc. “Warez” is something like software, etc. w00t comes from here also but I’m not exactly sure how.
I find it humorous that someone here thinks they came up with w00t. Hehe!
I can’t even remember the first time I heard it… ages ago though.
l33t, or leet, is ha><or speak for “elite.”
As you can see by my user name, I have been lawoot for many years (Actually for about 30 I’ve been called woot for short by my brother)

You know what would make me say “w00t!”? If lwwoot were to get me a job up in Washington!
Sorry. lawoot. :o
d00d… everyone knows it’s pr0n! WTF is “Pron”? I know… it’s the flavour of ramen noodles I don’t like…
ThatGuyWithPants, I have the license plate holder that says “Will work for bandwidth.” I also have the WTF? and the STFU babydoll shirts. I love Thinkgeek. I noticed after our new neighbours moved in, the guy across the street had some of their stickers on his truck mysteriously about two weeks later. He must have seen the URL on my car.
“w00t” is the mating call of hopeless nerds.
“kekeke” is Korean (and maybe other languages?) for “hahaha.”
blinks Great. Now my eyes hurt from decoding all of that. Ow. You darn kids with your fancy-pants writing. 
What an incredible compliment!
I just found this - you made my Friday, rubesbaby.
““w00t” is the mating call of hopeless nerds.”
BAHAHAHA! It’s true!
I “w00t!!” all over the place. Here, I’ll show a transcription of a conversation I had a couple of days ago (thank me later).
Other Person(22:10 PM) : rubs shoulders
bends in to softly kiss nape of neck
Hamadryad(22:11 PM) : Ugh, I have been talking to too many geeks…my first impulse was to type, “w00t!”
Other Person(22:13 PM) : ph33r |/|y L33t s|/|00<|-|1||g S|<1LLz!!!
Other Person(22:13 PM) : Eew, I feel all dirty after typing that.
Hamadryad(22:13 PM) : HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
My name is Hamadryad, and I am a hopeless nerd. Fortunately, I am a hopeless nerd who gets laid a lot, so I have many, many opportunities to yell “w00t!!!”
(P.S…I crave that shirt from ThinkGeek, but I’ll probably just make one of my own.)
