w00t? is that a west coast thing? or a northeast thing? or a midwest thing? 'cause it certainly doesn't seem to be a deep south thing...



I'm thinking of going back to "radical," or "swell."

I read somewhere that it started as a hacker thing.

When someone would hack into something or whatever, they yell "root!" or "woohoo!"

Woohoo + root = w00t!



Something like that.
