w00t Crowned Word of the Year by U.S. Dictionary

The best part about this award is the Reuters article talking about it. It’s like a buttoned up white collar guy trying to do his best Ludacris impression … and failing miserably:

“w00t,” an expression of joy coined by online gamers, was crowned word of the year on Tuesday by the publisher of a leading U.S. dictionary.

Massachusetts-based Merriam-Webster Inc. said “w00t” — typically spelled with two zeros — reflects a new direction in the American language led by a generation raised on video games and cell phone text-messaging.

It’s like saying “yay,” the dictionary said.

“It could be after a triumph or for no reason at all,” Merriam-Webster said.

This is pretty cool. It makes me want to say w00t! :)


So what a minute. Does this mean it will be in future dictionaries?


Oh snap! That’s the best news I’ve heard since ginormous became a word. w00t w00t!


Well, that’s random.


So wait, did I say, “what a minute”?

That’s not appropriate grammar at all.
