same with me. I'm not really sure if it really means anything

TJL · 08-07-2006, 05:11 PM

Why not just say Yay?

EmoJoe · 08-07-2006, 05:29 PM

I prefer "YIPPEE!"

Johnny Five · 08-07-2006, 05:54 PM

The term originated in online gaming rooms as an acronym for We Owned the Other Team. It's basically just a victory call. After that it evolved into a general expression of joy, like "yay".

Although depending on whom you ask you might get a different answer.

I prefer "I'm so filled with joy that I would like to display my gleeful feelings to the dear people I'm conversing with."

But for some, "woot" is easier to type.

it stands for "we owned the other team", i think initially referred by gamers; the o's are changed to 0's just for the hell of it, really. it's used in the same manner as "YAY!!" for anything though, not just winning a game.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 08-07-2006, 08:43 PM

haha I never knew it stood for anything, I always just thought it was "woo" with a 't' on the end because people wanted to sound cool

Brad Russ · 08-07-2006, 10:42 PM

I had someone say woot to me once in a chat room, and I said bless you. LOL!! I'm not sure what it means either. Safety Pins explaination makes sense though.
