The term w00t is a slang interjection used to express happiness or excitement, usually over the Internet. The expression is most popular on USENET posts [1] , multiplayer computer games (especially first person shooters), IRC chats, and instant messages, though use on the World Wide Web in the form of weblogs or in forums is by no means uncommon. The definite origin of the term w00t is unknown. One theory claims that usage of this term dates back to the mid-1990s, when it was probably derived from the alternative spellings of whoomp and whoot. These spellings are variously used in the phrases, "Whoomp, there it is," or "Whoot, there it is" from two songs in 1993 from rap groups Tag Team and 95 South, respectively. Another possibility is that it came from the vocalization made by the character in games of the Quake series when a jump is performed, usualy done on an opposing player's body after being shot. However, as Quake was only first released in 1996, this etymology probably only furthered the popularity of the existing term. Others have theorized the term is an acronym for "We Owned the Other Team", or that "w00t" finds its origin in the sounds of a jubilant Daffy Duck. It has also been alleged that "w00t" is a contraction of the phrase "wonderous loot!" or "wow, loot!", used in Ultima Online and Everquest whenever a player found large quantities of treasure, although it is uncertain if this is really the case. w00t is also somewhat like the Scots word "hoots", which is used in a similar manner—an exclamation signifying surprise, disbelief, or kindred reaction. Another supposed origin is as an expression used by a cracker (see security cracking) who has just broken into a computer system, obtaining root access: "woot, I have root!" A September 06, 2004 article on AdAge.com indicated that the term comes "from gaming slang—the original use meant 'Wow! Loot' in Dungeons and Dragons play—and is now a common exclamation of excitement in Net culture." w00t itself was first seen in 1994. The expression rose in popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It has not reached general usage or understanding. w00t is pronounced to rhyme with "boot" or "shoot", and can also be written as "woot", "w00+", "w00ties" or "w007". It has also been argued that "w00t!" is the only proper spelling. The symbolic approximation of Latin letter forms makes w00t a prime example of leet. It may also sometimes be seen spelled as "wewt." The phrase is often used twice in succession, as in "w00t! w00t!". "w00t" or "w007" is often used as a taunt in First person shooter games, or multiplayer games, typically used with pwned, as in "3y3 pwned j00! w007! w007!" (I owned you, woot! woot!) although this is amongst small groups of people (See leet). "woot" also materialized on irc (warez channels in particular) in the mid 90's - an onomatopoeic word of the sound a robot might make (Clicks, whirrs, and beeps were also popular). Upon entering a channel, or entering into a "conversation" with a bot, you could be greeted with woot: "Woot! Welcome nght_kllah back to #ultiwarez!" from wikipedia w00t!

oooooooo..... Out of Print, Hard to Find! Check with some of their online dealers, like prolite gear. They might still have some in stock (their website seems to indicate that they still have some).

I recall a long drawn out discussion about these watches (even someone calling them small because they are "girly"). Do a search on the gear review section.

The question is: Who was taking the picture?

Without opening myself up to a lawsuit, I can't go into details.

Dru, is this what you rigged up? Looks pretty sweet.

It could be that is what floats their boat or turns their crank. Different strokes for different folks. Or maybe it is just getting caught that does it for them, and now that he is legal they will find that the thrill is gone.

It actually hasn't "worked" per say, but my testing has resulted in a funny gimp to my walk and some singes.

At least they aren't requesting clothes so she can play dress up as a school marm, and he the naughty school lad.

I assume you mean "Einstein". My time machine still isn't functional, but I'm close. Let me know if you need any questions answered. It's a Columbian Carbomb, btw.

The answer to the question is yes. It has been confirmed, but for legal reasons I can't tell you the details. And that is not the only amazing little known fact that is hidden in Repo Man.

Because he is off climbing while I'm spraying on the Internet!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK??!!! Duh.

I tried this for a month, and they still sent it to me.

Q: What's the difference between a rectal thermometer and a regular thermometer? A: The taste.

Sounds like fun! I got hooked up with a free ticket to Interpol at the Paramount or I would join you tentacle boy!

Damn! I didn't think my spray would hurt him that much! Since he is climbing this weekend, I assume he still has at least three of his appendages? Lets have the details NOLSe....what happened?

This is just my opinion, but then it seems the mods aren't doing their job if that is a problem. I think I know what you're talking about, and there is a fine line between friends making fun of friends and negative spray in the TR section. I don't have a problem with a light hearted TR and people having fun, but it should be just that...fun. Negative B.S. doesn't belong there. Neither does one person's definition of what climbing "really" is. Anyway, sorry to hijack your thread, but while I have fun in spray, my favorite part of this site is the TR section.

This is all fun and games, but this one doesn't fit in. That area should be sacred ground, and shouldn't be messed with. If people are not posting TRs because of fear, this board is doomed, IMHO.

Jens, is this one of those mythic grizzly sightings in the North Cascades! Do tell.
