In 1990 we used woot when playing tabletop dice Dungeons and Dragons when we came across good gear or loot.. Now its worked its way into online games and chat speak.

Same sorta meaning, excitment, happy, wow I found someone I wanted or liked.

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.

To exclaim excitement

The word "woot" does not mean "We own the other team," you stupid mother F###$"

It is a expresion of joy.

What you say when you win something or do or see something cool.

A shout of exciment from a geek, nerd, and/or dork within the internet.

A shrill, obnoxious noise/word used by immature people to express happiness or excitement. Supposedly started in the gamer community, but is now used by any slack-jawed moron to express delight.
