What the Hell Does "w00t!" Mean?

[Professor S]

Well? What is that? Is it some sort of weird Canadian mispronounciation of the letter "o"?

"We have ways of making you pronounce the letter `o'!"

You guys should adopt some American slang for celebration like "Raise the Roof", or "Who let the Dogs Out" or... geez... they suck... damn.

Never mind. "w00t" is fine by me. But what does it mean and where did it originate from?

[gekko]

Umm... uhh... why do you ask questions?

w00t originates from wohoo i would imagine. You non-nerds just don't get it, do ya?

And then there's the spin-off, w00ty w00t w00t!!!

And it's no Canadian. Canadians say it w00t, eh?!!!

[Angrist]

It's just a weird word evolved from some other weird word used by internet junkies. That's how it always goes. :)

Good question. I hate when people on the net just say it so that others don't understand. And whenever you ask...............the nerds don't say anything. THEY STAY SILENT I TELLSYA!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeathsHand]

Uber means like Super or something, right? :unsure:

Cuz these idiots on a Sega message boards went around calling the next generation of consoles (this was back when the DC was new) "Uber-consoles"... and I asked what it meant and they said like Super... I think..... :p

Hahaha.... That commercial is the greatest. And then they have a continuation of the Americans in neck braces, and a Canadian walks in with a huge beaver fur coat. And they are like "oh, mr. Canadian... " And then this really hot chick walks in and he puts it on the girl and they walk off... haha.

Canadian beer commercials are the greatest. Especially the Molson Export commercials.

[Happydude]

w00t originated from the action "to woot" meaning, to chear...or....to make those woooo noises....and stuff....



i wanted to sound safistamacated...

[Professor S]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, I never sadi it WAS Canadian, I just thought it might be since I never saw it before coming here and I know there are a lot of Canadians on the site.

As for it being hacker speak...

NEERRRRRDS!!!!!!!

:D

(If you guys don't know where that comes from, I honestly don't know what to do with you.)

[Mechadragon]

Yeah thats like from the Cosby Show right?
