i know its stupid but i just have to know, what does "woot" mean/stand for. i see it everywhere and i just cant figure it out. sorry for the dumb question
 
Urban Dictionary says...

Woot originated as a hacker term for root (or administrative) access to a computer. However, with the term as coincides with the gamer term, "w00t".

"w00t" was originally an trunicated expression common among players of Dungeons and Dragons tabletop role-playing game for "Wow, loot!" Thus the term passed into the net-culture where it thrived in video game communities and lost its original meaning and is used simply as a term of excitement.
 
heh, the only way I can explain it is.... well.... it's just something that ....uh.... it's a "happy" word? lol

I use it when i'm acting like a moron when i'm online or when I hear or do somethign that I thoguht was cool. Like in Halo matchmakein if I get a sweet kill I say woot....
