An exclamation of agreement and/or happiness. Usually used by a younger crowd, [[script kiddies]] and people who play [[EverQuest]]. Sometimes used to denote victory. |

This word originates from a mangling of the interjective ''Woo'' (which itself came from ''Whew''). Its popularity began to rise with the prominence of online multiplayer games--in particular, online [[role-playing games]] such as [[EverQuest]]. This is probably as a result of the phenomenon of online communication morphing words to create strong statements that are easy to type. See also -- [[grok]], [[blorf]], ''editors, feel free to add some other new-age jargon that have interesting roots'' |

''W00t'' is the [[lamer]] version of woot. In the language of the lamers, certain letters are replaced with numerals or mathematical symbols to create an elitist alphabet. ''W00+'' is also a lamer variation of woot. |
