        Woot (v.) : Of or relating to a great success.

        Example: My Bastok mission was woot. The woot mission took twenty seconds to complete.

              A little background on the word, courtesy of the Jargon File.

Others claim it originated in the Everquest multiplayer game as an abbreviation of “wonderful loot”. Still other claim it on originated on IRC as the “Ewok victory cheer”] Adj. w00table has the sense of “cool” or “nifty”. This is one of the few leet-speak coinages to have crossed over into non-ironic use among hackers.

                      Blamestorm was more deserving. I could have used that for family meetings.
