    Neither was "zounds" back in the day, or "strewth." And now all the kids are saying it.
    Strewth has actually been a part of Australian vocabulary for a long time.

    W00t doesn't even mean owning the other team. It's a slang from of YEAH!!!. If you want to own, you say 0WND or something like that.

    But still, w00t is good, but not for Word of the Year.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    (..) part of what is known as l33t ('leet,' or 'elite') speak (..)
    God, they're still there ..

    I play some of the crappiest shooters like Rakion and Wolfteam, and pwnage is a rarity there. I saw 'oN4ch' this week, now there's an interjection that might just make it before Christmas.

    W00t.

    (It does not look so good with capitalized 'W'; it must be stressed in the dictionary that it can only be spelled with a lower case 'w')
    Runes for good luck:

    [1 - exp(i*2π)]^-1

    Alternative spellings exist, albeit locally:
