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!!!!!!!!!!!
