The 2007 Merriam-Webster "Word of the Year"
| 
The 2007 Merriam-Webster "Word of the Year" is (drum roll please):
w00t.
That's right folks, a l337 speak word has made it into the Word of the Year list. For those that are technology or l337 deficient, I'll let CBS explain:
"W00t," a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness.
I never thought "w00t" could sound so sterile.
Guilty admission: I've been known to exclaim "w00t!" out loud in real life when happy. Yes, I know I'm a dork, thank you very much.

Whenever I think of W00t, I think of you :)
