In another large step forward by gaming geeks in their quest to take over the world, Merriam-Webster Inc. officially crowned “w00t” the word of the year according to Reuters.
The word “w00t,” spelled with two zeros, is a celebratory phrase. Like “W00t! We just killed the final boss” or “I just sniped you in the head! W00t!”
The U.S. dictionary makers said via TeamSpeak that “w00t” pwned the runner-up word “facebook,” a verb meaning to use the social networking site.
In fact, if “w00t” were able to speak, it would probably call “facebook” an R-tard. And if both words were playing a first-person shooter “w00t” would probably frag “facebook” and then perform a teabag.
A completely separate survey by Global Language Monitor named “hybrid” the word of the year and “climate change” the phrase of the year. The runner-up word was “surge.”
But zOMG, we all know “w00t” would crit those Ãœber n00bs!
