    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.

          A leet speak form of saying huzzah or hurray.
          It originated from back in the days of MUD games, after killing an opponent loot was a rare find, so if someone found loot they would say wow loot!. This evolved into woot for short which further evolved to simply be a general exclamation of excitement.

            Before ALL of that, woot was a happy noise made by certain Monkees and Guinea Pigs when they are happy or content. Net nerds like to take credit for creating stuff that they only adopted. But I know better. Ive heard those monkets. And theyre happy. woot.

                In 1990 we used woot when playing tabletop dice Dungeons and Dragons when we came across good gear or loot.. Now its worked its way into online games and chat speak.

                Same sorta meaning, excitment, happy, wow I found someone I wanted or liked.
