From the AP: SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Expect cheers among hardcore online game enthusiasts when they learn Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year. Or, more accurately, expect them to "w00t."
"W00t," a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness or triumph, topped all other terms in the Springfield-based dictionary publisher's online poll for the word that best sums up 2007.
Merriam-Webster's president, John Morse, said "w00t" was an ideal choice because it blends whimsy and new technology.
"It shows a really interesting thing that's going on in language. It's a term that's arrived only because we're now communicating electronically with each other," Morse said.
So what hardcore gamer is going to be able to break away from lancing and creating a better online life so he (let's face it, they're hes) can sprint away from his everyday problems because God doesn't love him enough to actually celebrate the choice of his G33K word?
Just sayin'. Tough love, y'all. That's how we role.
