i see I am about to enter the top 1000 on THE project and wanted to solicit the many valued opinions from my home team's forum on the 'most correct' expression of this term.


Commentary appreciated. :attn:

:beer: ... thats Moosehead beer btw ... very Canadian eh?


/edit - ok ... it looks like wOOT will have to do since I just passed the 1000 mark.

:beer: :beer:

I've no idea where it originates, although w00t and woot are commonly accepted spellings.

Whatever that Canadian beer is, it's gotta be better than Pacifico. I still have a foul taste in my mouth :bang head

I will have to bookmark that so i don't confuse people (like me) with my improper use of jargon.

Nik, wOOR doesn't exist (yet) ... at least not according the the wikipedia ... but maybe you are just ahead of the times :D

It is l337 speak. Thus using zeros, not o's. w00t. "We Own Other Team." w00r is a mispelling that also means the same thing. Kinda like owned, pwned, same thing. :)
