Just wondering

[mzhthrbrwn]

What does "woot" mean?

 

[AreaCode707]

Typically it's not synonmous with nef but in this case I think it is.

 

[Rallispec]

its w00t

and its like "yay" or something like that..

goes back to hacker times- sounds like "root".. i dunno the whole story, i'm sure somebody can tell you.

dont say it.

i thought it was a Quake thing. Like a battle cry of sort...

Like "w00t, i just blew off your head! i'm a l33t fragger"

when early hackers broke into a system - they reached the "root".. so the would procliam or yell "root!" and then that turned into "woot!" because it sounds like root. and now with all the 1337 h@xor type, its spelled "w00t"

its just a general word used by computer geeks now to show excitement and happiness for doing something good.

in other words, its retarded. its a nef.
