word of the year

One of my favorite words is a word that was created by gamers online: w00t. That's spelled with the letter 'w' and then two zeros and then the letter 't.' It is normally used to express excitement and/or agreement with something that has recently occured. If you would like to read more about Webster's Word of the Year for 2007, go here. There is also www.woot.com (spelled with the letter 'o,' not zeros) that sells only one product per day, but it sells it cheap, whatever it is, because of the bulk. We got our Dyson vacuum cleaner from there. It is a great place to shop.

i've heard rumor that "w00t" was originally a gamer term that means "we own the other team." and of course, since gamers (or should i say, g4m3rz) are fond of substituting letters with numbers, w00t was born.
but, what do i know about being a gamer.
