The term ‘wot’ is obviously the n00b/l33t spelling or interpretation of the word ‘what’. People who are either too lazy or too cool to use proper grammar are often seen shortening/hyphening words for their own easy convenience. Such a time would be during online play of games such as Half-Life 2, or World of WarCraft; the term itself, and the ‘language’, originated far before this, however.
Obviously, ‘wot’ is not the correct spelling of ‘what’, and is therefore seen most often as a mistake when printed in the English language. For apparent reasons, the word ‘wot’ is not pronounced, but merely read. However, if one were to pronounce ‘wot’, it would more or less sound like ‘watt’.
