W00t

A leet-speak exclamation of joy that was Merriam-Webster's word of the year in 2007; John calls it a great word that must be seen to be appreciated.

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
