W00T!

As politicians, as gamers, as men, as teenagers, as girls, as boys, we have always had that moment of 'W00T' ness! Be it graduating (oh dear!), getting an xmas present under the tree that was something you completely didnt expect!, or just creeping in to a room only to find Britney Spears waiting for you so she can perform her latest album live (thaaaaaank you MTV!!!!).

I remember the days back in the UK where we would use words like 'lol', 'pwnd', 'rofl' and ofcourse, 'woot'. At first, everyone thought we were stupid and 'geeks'. In many ways we had something no one else had, a secret language. If your boss fired you, it would be 'WTF H4X!'. If you saw a granny getting hit by a truck it would be 'ZOMFG!'. If your girlfriend was over it would be 'leet'. If your friends came in last / lost a bet it would be 'lol'. If it was a 47 year old man with a massive bum crack working for British Rail looking at kiddy porn at 4am, it was 'ROFL' (and nasty - but we all wet our cookies one way or the other!).

Well im proud to say, with tears swelling in my eyes! W00T is word of the year!!! Wam, Bam, thank you maam, crowned and not forgotten!

This might just go to show, gamers have style ;)
