"w00t" crowned word of year by U.S. dictionary
 

BOSTON (Reuters) - "w00t," an expression of joy coined by online gamers, was crowned word of the year on Tuesday by the publisher of a leading U.S. dictionary.

Massachusetts-based Merriam-Webster Inc. said "w00t" -- typically spelled with two zeros -- reflects a new direction in the American language led by a generation raised on video games and cell phone text-messaging.

It's like saying "yay," the dictionary said.

I haven't even heard the word "w00t", since I don't play any games.
I think it's a wierd word to be in a dictionary, specially when there are two zeros in the word!

In that case there are lots of other words that come to mind. Like "Yo" "cuz".
Any other suggestions?

woooooot

interesting, but isn't that one several years old at least?

Wow, that's fucking retarded

p i m p d o g


woot woot

What a surprise.

What was last year's word... "dude"? or "like"


Had to be one of them.


:disgust

indeed :thumbsup

I vote to make IMPEACH the word of the year instead

Pretty funny considering the fact that I don't even consider that to be a word.

I do enjoy the fact that they are saying this "reflects a new direction in the American language".

Last I checked the language is called English. But I'll admit, only Americans are retarded enough to think that a)the language is called "American" and b) are the only people to think that "w00t" is a word in the first place, let alone a word worthy of any accolade other "the dumbest attempt at creating a new word ever (and yes we are aware of the word "hella"...this still wins) award"

Anyways, w00t w00t, I'm out y'all. this thread is hella weak.

ps. who let the dog's out anyways?

And what would the meaning of the word be :)

They are years behind.

this calls for a w00t

w00t was word of the year in like 2001. it easily left my online vocab in 02-03. and even then it was long overdue for retirement. i love how far behind the times these real world fagets are. internet lurkers are superior peoples...
