FA sear Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I have a silly question ... what is "WHOOT" ... when people use it on the net? I understand most slang etc net wise, but this one I never understand .. can anyone tell me? We won't tell. Its a conspiracy. Just kidding, Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Seriously though, the way I generally see it being used is when something is good, awesome, great, etc... I see people posting Woot, or Whoot when circumstances like this arise. This is just an observation, so I may not be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wille Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 the urban dictionary has this to say about Woot 1. woot 1548 up, 247 down Woot originated as a hacker term for root (or administrative) access to a computer. However, with the term as coincides with the gamer term, "". "" was originally an trunicated expression common among players of Dungeons and Dragons tabletop role-playing game for "Wow, loot!" Thus the term passed into the net-culture where it thrived in video game communities and lost its original meaning and is used simply as a term of excitement. "I defeated the dark sorcerer! Woot!" "woot! i r teh flagmastar!" (Think Tribes) "Woot, I pwnzed this dude's boxen!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
