Most people who use it are vaugely computor literate, however, most usually nerds. Its great to take the piss out of, although if you do you should watch out. This is because so real hackers, or true "1337s" use it. So if you start cussing off one guy for using 1337, you may get a trojan, and the next you know, some hackers using your comp to download kiddy porn.

A language/dialect used by to a certain extent by nearly all gamers and computer hackers. The grammar of 1337 varies, and not only are letters replaced by symbols, but there are other rules too, such as certain misspellings.

Commonly missunderstood for hacker speak, 1337 is actually a delicate cult that has very few followers who are "1337", or worthy enough to join. There are levels of 1337, and the primarily focus on ones knowledge of 1337 and, depending on the specific cults versions, higher levels are acheived. Only minute computer skills are required to be in 1337, and they more so focus on DoD than CS. (DoD=Day of Defeat and CS Counter-Strike). The followers of 1337 do use common "1337 5|>34|<" or, leet speak for those of you who can't follow, in online gaming, however, again it is more measured on the awsomeness of a particular event or phrase. Ignore other definition of 1337, those are all inspired by computer nerds who whack off to Beavis and Butthead do America (the car scene if you nubs havn't seen the movie yet).
