The etomology of the word W00t stems from 2 English words,
“Wow, Cool!”
In the mid 1990’s Wow cool was shortend to Wool, but was confused with a sheep’s dressings, or a sweater ( which made no sense to the computer Community). Therefore a T was used instead of an L and thus woot. However, Woot wasent as cool as it could be. So using hackers syntax in writting real world words, Zeros were used for the "o"s and thus W00t was born and forever used by geeks.

Yes, which was adopted in the spring of 1998 by Dr. WutenSpeil, thru his research in Wootinology, we now have a shortened word, “w00t”, keeping its original meaning, “Wow, Cool!”
Please… You all are embarassing yourselves talking about your “w00t” and “l337.” Lost’s “//007” was the single most stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life! He should be ashamed of himself for making such a remark. If you needed help with the l33t-speak, you can come to me. There is only one man capable of talking leet, and that is me. w00t…
Lost Lost Lost, you poor misinformed person. When explaining leet speak, you always use leet, instead of “l33t.” This clears up the mistake of someone asking you what “l33t” is if they don’t know that 3’ can be substituted for E’s. It’s ok though, I wouldn’t expect a n00b like you to know…
I actually never learned full leet speak. I gave that up when I decided not to follow up with my Computer Networking (although my voucher is still good to take the CCNA exam…hmmm).
I once was, but no longer am. Oh, and I never hacked anyones comp without their permission, I would feel too guilty.
Lost’s “//007” was the single most stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life!
