w00t is ghastly geekspeak undeserving of scholarly recognition.
May it long remain ephemeral!

That is not standard English... it will never make it, but MySpace could be a standard verb in 2008. To MySpace somebody is to send a person a message in MySpace.

It's more likely a word that is said by teenybopper than internet nerds that are stuck in like... 2005. Get a life!! It is probably going to be a huge catch phrase in 2009, when the Gen Z bunch takes over.

Yeah they can say Woot!(There It Is)" instead of the Generation Xers saying "Whoop! (There It Is)" which was a hit song by "Tag Team" in 1993.
I remember there used to be a guy who used to play for the New York Giants and his name was Tito Wooten.
