View Full Version : Good News! Harold Zidler Fri, May 6th, 2005, 12:40 PM Today I am able to wear an XL for the first time in a year or so. Just a little bit smaller than a XXXL :jumping: PeteBDawg Fri, May 6th, 2005, 12:59 PM Awesome! Keep it up! PaulWade Fri, May 6th, 2005, 01:07 PM :claplow: Woot! PeteBDawg Fri, May 6th, 2005, 02:29 PM Where does "Woot" come from, and what does it formally mean? I've always wondered. Harold Zidler Fri, May 6th, 2005, 02:38 PM it comes from the old hacker saying of going root which means taking over a computer. Nowdays though all the cool kids are saying "woot". to be honest I'm not sure PeteBDawg Fri, May 6th, 2005, 03:35 PM Well, then! "Woot!" :D PaulWade Fri, May 6th, 2005, 03:55 PM Definitely an online gaming thing, but various origination theories include: The song "Woot! There it is!" An abbreviation for "We own other team", started in Counterstrike, at least that's the first place I ever saw it. A k3wl3r more l33t way of saying "Woohoo!". Truthfully, ask 50 gamers where it came from and you're likely to get 50 stories. MMORPGers will give you stories about lore and loot, FPSers will talk about pwnage and other such nonsense. I just like the way it looks... WOOT! What's funny is that I sometimes say it in person too...most people look at me like I'm retarded and sometimes ask "What?"...I usually give the "Woot! There it is!" reference. :D PeteBDawg Fri, May 6th, 2005, 05:30 PM I thought it was "Whoomp! There it is!" PaulWade Fri, May 6th, 2005, 06:31 PM I thought it was "Whoomp! There it is!" I dunno...maybe it is. Either way, he's still doing a great job and deserves whatever form of hootin' and hollerin' you're ken to... :tu: Chris Fri, May 6th, 2005, 07:04 PM Today I am able to wear an XL for the first time in a year or so.
