Gaming jargon becomes word of the year - w00t!
January 7, 2008 Gaming News No CommentsAccording to the BBC, the word “w00t” has become word of the year, as voted for in a poll by Merriam Webster. Yes. That is what our language is coming to - crap made up by fanboys.
For those who don’t know, the term “w00t” (with either numbers or letters in the middle) originated pre MMO time, back in the days of DnD board games. There’s no real agreement on what the abbreviation stands for, but some guesses are:
- “Wow, loot”
- “We owned other team”
- “Want one of those”
