Before ALL of that, woot was a happy noise made by certain Monkees and Guinea Pigs when they are happy or content. Net nerds like to take credit for creating stuff that they only adopted. But I know better. I've heard those monkets. And they're happy. woot.
Kristy walks in the door from a long day of work and her Guinea Pig, thrilled to see her, asks "Woot? Woot woot? Woot."

An expression used by sailors in the Canadian navy during WWII to describe a babe who had the goods. Typically used while on shore leave, it was an imitation of a ships klaxon horn alert sound.
Sailors walking down a street in harbour as a dame walks by;
Woot! says one and another says "I'll say"!

Currently most associated with being a interjection for expressing happiness over an event or an achievement.
I would also like to interject on entry #11 that if "woot" was actually a Middle English word, it would have been recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary -which it is not- and would be both documented and placed on a timeline. Since it is not, I would highly advise that others take that statement about as serious as entry #4 unless that user can provide substantial evidence to support that claim.
