    Oooh goody this is the area I specialise in!


    The most popular explanation is that it comes from leetspeek beginning as an accronym for "We Owned Other Team" or "We Own Other Teams" and now is most commonly used as a expression of delight/excitement.

    'w00t I just pwn3d teh n00b, I are teh 1337'

    The oldest references are from '94 [nearly positive] I haven't got them with me but I can check if you're interested.





    I loev this forum.

    That's as good a place as any to start. :)

    Might I suggest a thread - Word for the Day or Week, whereby the history of a word is explained.
