Woot. Dope or universal?

Yes, but Gaudere’s name has been on it repeatedly since then in places I’m pretty sure Dopers don’t tend to frequent.

The ironic thing about Gaudere’s Law is that it’s so easy to mis-spell Gaudere.

I happened across an entry on Facebook today (I was sucked in by wanting news of my son at camp, I swear) where a friend had congratulated an achievement of my son’s with ‘Woot’. I’ve never seen it anywhere except on the Dope. Is it universal and I’m very behind the times (likely)?

I don’t know where/when it started, but I first saw it in World of Warcraft, so definitely not originating here.

Well, yes, it was mentioned in the second post, in fact.

Bah. No linked URL, so my eyes skipped over it. :smack:
