Leet
An internet slang and spelling style (w00t, pwn, n00b); John is happy to see it get word-of-the-year attention.
Early context: John calls woot a great word that, like an E. E. Cummings poem, must be seen to be appreciated; he is happy leet speak gets word-of-the-year attention, though he jokingly misses old 'elite speak'. — Dec. 12th: w00t is the WORD OF THE YEAR?! 00:00:34
