w00t! eye am leet haxor!


General wannabe computer geek haxor terminology.

w00t!: All encompusing term expressing joy, enjoyment, exitedness, etc...

eye: Obviously just another way to state the word/letter "I" common in the 1337 langauge to show just far one will go to make typing a simple word/letter an exaustive task.

am: no significant meaning...just notice the '4' substituted for an 'A'

l33t: more commonly (and correctly) type as '1337' translates to 'LEET'. Which is just a different way to state 'elite'. The root word of the 1337 langauge from which it's name is obviously derived from. Used when stating supieriority, coolness, etc...

h4x0r: Directly translates to 'haxor', which substitues for 'hacker'. Notice again the '4' used intead of an 'A' (extremely common usage' and a 'zero' substituted for an 'o'. (again very common).


Almost every computer geek strives to be the greatest hacker, so being labeled the '1337 h4x0r' is a term much longed for. Unfortunatly it is usually only self labled, and therefore is quickly losing it's power.


Basically a true hackor can't be restricted by normal dial-up capabilities. So because mrmephistopheles now has cable access, he can now truely become 1337, and not just a poser.

1337 is like rice...everyone wants it, but everyone hates it.

EDIT: Edited for spelling...yes I know there are more errors, but I can't spell, and don't claim the capabilites...so....erm, yeah.

LOL, best post EVER!
Didn't everybody with a computer learn to type 1337 in the early 90's when "Hackers" came out? :D

PS: you'll never see a real hacker (in the original meaning of the word) type in the 1337 fasion, cept to joke around or mock the wanabe's who do type this way...for those not in the know. :cool:
