Kate's Point of View

The Product of Creative Frustration

A new word, a new obsession

To say I check out a lot web sites n a regular basis is an understatement. I can’t help it. It’s the relief for my ADD at a computer. It’s a source of endless amusement and laughter for me while I waste away cutting and pasting. It’s just damn entertaining.

Among the various blogs I read, I have been noticing a word being used more and more frequently.

Woot!

In all a actuality, it’s w00t. The context in which I see it used makes me think the word is a synonym for “Snap!” “Burn” and “Count it!” While I was mildly satisfied with my interpretation of this new piece of slang, I needed to know more. So I headed to the only source I trust for teaching me the meaning of dumb words. UrbanDictionary.com.

So apparently w00t! is gamer slang for “Wow, I see loot!” When I say gamer slang, I mean it’s something people say while playing DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS. Thereby, I have given up many moments of my life and become increasingly intrigued and entertained by DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS SLANG.

I have sunk ever further into geekdom.

W00t!
