w00t

Gamer's victory cry

W00t is an exclamation of triumph or excitement, originating in online gaming and internet culture.

The zeroes replacing o's mark it as leetspeak—a style of writing that substitutes numbers for letters.

Players type it after victories or lucky drops: w00t, finally got the legendary sword!

The spelling has become part of the joke, signaling ironic enthusiasm even outside gaming contexts.
