Speak softly, but carry a big @

An admonition, intended for bosses, to avoid giving unpleasant news face to face, but rather save it for an email. ("@" is pronounced "at sign".)
I told everybody at last month's department meeting that the future looked bright. Two weeks later I send them all an email about the budget cuts and layoffs. It saves me listening to a lot of bitching from that bunch of peons. My daddy taught me a long time ago to Speak softly, but carry a big @!

1337 speak

Doesn't 1337 speak come from Counter-Strike 1.6?
Google 1337 Krew :)
From there we started using nub and n00b, and h4x and the language evolved...
You could often interchange characters for the same meaning:
7h475 6234t / th4t5 6r34t / thats great -- or n!nj4 / |\|1|\|j4 / n1nj4 -- you get it..
