After School Special Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Merriam-Webster are wordsmiths of the highest order. So much so they put out a dictionary every once in a while. You may know this. What you may not know is that they recently held an online poll, asking for the "word that best sums up 2007". That word would be their "Word of the Year". This year's winner? W00t, which was described by MW as "a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness". If w00t best sums up 2007, 2007 must be destroyed. Right away. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/11/tech/main3607745.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. Lecter Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 That's the first I've ever heard of or even saw that word in my life It only goes to show you that people who write dictionaries are of a "niche" subculture.. to say it nicely.

WorldBench Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 too bad "w00t" aka "woot" came out in 1996 on the AOL Hacking Scene along with "hax" "haxor" "noob" "newb" "leet" "leeto burrito" "roxy" "rox" etc... but people don't know their shit and think it's a counterstrike term.

Bruce_1nR Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I never once assoicated w00t with CS. In the years I played CS I never once found myself going, "w00t, headshot!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Wallbanger Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 They do this every year. It's an online poll, which I guess tends to attract an overall geek-heavy response, so the winner is usually something ridiculous, like "bling" or "D'oh". In similar news, Greenpeace just held an online poll to name this whale they were trying to rescue-- and the winner (with 78% of the vote) was "Mr Splashy Pants". You guys ever see that movie Idiocracy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauler5150 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 http://entertainmentfans.com/vid6/ this reminds me of this guy, wooooooooo woooooooooooooo! Can anyone please give me a wav or mp3 file of the audio from this? I tried getting the .flv file, then it wouldn't let the audio be transfered to Cubase in that format, then Premiere wouldn't recognise the file type (flv) to change to avi or mpeg so I could rip the audio in Cubase. Any help appreciated thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
