Help me assimilate:

You hear that voice; I know you do. Ease his pain.

Now's your chance; make that voice go away. You -- yes, YOU -- can cool my fevered brow.

Please - just tell me:

What does W00t! mean?

Where'd it come from? Is it cool, 733t, trekkie, street, emo, what?

Or, you can keep walking. The choice is yours.

It stands for "Wednesday? Out of time." I think it's something to do with making an appointment to have your ingrown toenail removed, and if the doctor offers to fix it on Thursday, you say "Woot!" to express your desire to have it done sooner.

Hope this helps.

Here's the entymology right here.

w00t was originally an acronym for "we owned other team" but used 1337$p34|< for some of the letters(w00t instead of woot). It is now commonly used as an interjection of joy.

Rob, you are geek lite, my friend :D

"w00t! I pwn3d j00!"
