Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: BTs_FahQ2 on August 22, 2003, 12:54:08 am From a land far far away.
The same place things like yeti, free checking, Apple G5's and Olestra came from. Hope that helps Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: Supernatural Pie on August 22, 2003, 12:59:07 am I can't tell you where w00t came from, but I can tell you that it spawned AgT's trademark exclamations:
Snipe = s00t Voodoo = v00t Mellow = m00t One = 00t Kame = k00t Colin = c00t etc. Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: Jeb on August 22, 2003, 01:16:43 am Woot originated from the ICT, more specifically electronicjo about 2 years ago, then i began saying it and exploited it untill everyone knew what it was.

The w00tness is strong with them. And other long for the w00tness, but will never reach it. I for one wish I had the w00tness. ;) Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: PsYcO aSsAsSiN on August 22, 2003, 02:53:53 am w00t originated from r00t, a hacker term that hackers allegedly used to yell after they had cracked into the root files of a computer...overtime it morphed into w00t (much longer than a couple of years ago)
Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: iGnome on August 22, 2003, 09:00:58 am I heard it came from the days when people still played Quake 2 (they still do now)
Then again I'm sure a nerd like Brain will find the right answer Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: BTs_Lee.Harvey on August 22, 2003, 01:01:47 pm Once apon a time.. In the land of w00t...........
Didn't come from that 90's talk show.. The Arseneal Hall show or something where every one pumped there fist and yelled w00t w00t w00t at the start of the show? Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: Kuza on August 22, 2003, 03:18:46 pm fusion the w00tness is strong with you
i.e ibookoy ::) you all kicked out ass with sniper, very w00t worthy Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: 0 Kilz:M: on August 22, 2003, 05:02:46 pm (http://www.spacespider.net/emo/sign_blah.gif)...does anyone really care?
Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: kami on August 23, 2003, 02:50:37 pm Is that so Assassin? I heard it came from 'what' which warped into 'woot' and then 'w00t'.
Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: x1|sixshooter on August 23, 2003, 11:09:36 pm you guys are all wrong, except for maybe psycho assasin, woot has been around since back in the day though. i know that for sure. and it has nothing to do with quake. All i know is it suddenly became a phnomenon on GR, but ive been usin it for like 2 years now. oh well.
Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: kami on August 24, 2003, 03:54:35 pm Yes it's been around for longer than GR has, much longer.
Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: Maniac on August 24, 2003, 05:09:22 pm I have no idea we need someone who noes the answers always.
Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: Mr. Lothario on August 24, 2003, 10:13:49 pm The answer (http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=189002) (sort of).
Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: PsYcO aSsAsSiN on August 25, 2003, 05:00:26 am Is that so Assassin? I heard it came from 'what' which warped into 'woot' and then 'w00t'. In several years of gaming, I have come across many people named r00t and w00t...probably 95% of those people all tell me the same story or a derivative of it. I seriously doubt that it comes from the exclamation "whoot" as Lothario's google answer would state. Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: Maniac on August 25, 2003, 05:24:20 am Sorry my friend was spaming, and i didn't stop him. My fault i will talk to him. >:(
Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: golo back in jail on August 25, 2003, 05:44:01 am woot = "Mike the Spike", all u old fuckers should know that
Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: |MP|Nomad on August 27, 2003, 05:41:06 pm The 1st I ever heard from it was from +-KoS-+ Ej and then Tech9Ne, then everyone else started repeating it. Its not the only word ppl came up with, there was also, "weak sauce= as a response to ppl who want to stop playing and leave the game or GR"
THATS THE TRUE STORY...... Title: Re:Where did w00t come from? Post by: c| Dr. NO on August 29, 2003, 01:49:51 am OMFG!!! Your all wrong! I made the wOOt, its mine, ALL MINE!!!!
