W00T according to Wikipedia:
The term "w00t" is a slang interjection used to express happiness or excitement, usually over the Internet. The expression is most popular on USENET posts [1], multiplayer computer games (especially first-person shooters), IRC chats, and instant messages, though use on the World Wide Web in the form of weblogs or in forums is by no means uncommon. In dialogs about first person shooters, it also is an abbreviation for "We Own the Other Team."
Another, although less popular, explanation for the origins of the phrase "w00t" is from the role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons w00t is a combination of the phrase "weapons and loot," "wonderous loot," or "Wow, loot!" which were typically the rewards from quests or slaying of monsters. Over time the reward was shortened to w00t.
Another common belief is that it originated from the acronym of the phrase "We Owned the Other Team" from first-person shooters (fps), first appearing as a motto for a Quake clan, which then was used later by gamers in other games such as Counter-Strike.
