I diigo’ed this! It’s funny, I’ve been using “woot” for a really long time, before I had even heard of Leet, and people used to look at me weird. Now you hear it everywhere, which is obviously why they picked it. “Lolcat” better be next, but even it’s not, anything is better than “EVOO” which is teh sux.
