Post n00b-like Questions.
I am not new to the game, I have played for at least three years, but some things I still dont understand.

What the hell does L33t or LEET, or I33T or whatever it is, stand for or mean?

Why say "pwn"? And again, what does it mean?

"Woot" another one that is just lost in translation for me.

Anybody who would be kind enough to reply with a little bit of slang help, that would be great. Thanks a lot.

1337 -> lEET -> leet -> elite

for some reason, people who play computer games excessively tend to like using numbers in5734d of letters.

"pwn", well, legend has it someone was typing "own" and had a slip of what we here like to call Pepperosity, resulting in "pwn" instead.

Or, I like to think of it as power-own. Intense, I know.
