  • W00t, w00t is word of the year



    I really must protest. Hopefully I spelled the "word" above correctly. Seems like all these words of the year are words that will never be used in 10 years time. Very flashy and trendy.

        i like how they explain stuff about the internet to their web audience.

        "see, w00t was made popular because we're communicating electronically. even now, you are reading this site electronically, see? w00t is a combination of numbers because some people use l33t speak, cause they are elite"

        and then comparing l33t speak to a movie from 1990 is so... ugh...

          If I ever heard some say woot in real life, I would be sorely tempted to slap them.

                Hardcore Online Game Enthusiasts would only make fun off the noobs that voted in that poll, and MSNBC for finally achieving "hipness" circa 1994.

                That is... they would if they weren't so busy pwning noobs in game and knew such things existed.

                  I have caught myself saying 'lol' out loud (not on purpose mind you).

                    That was woofing with the fist pump as seen in the Arsenio Hall Show. Whoever wrote the article should be fired. Out of a howitzer. Into an active volcano.

                      I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                        "tear"

                        I think I occasionally say "doubleyou tee eff" and yes... "lol"

                        Of course it's retarded to say lol and not laugh simultaneously .
