Woot!
April 19, 2008 – 3:20 pmI ran Karazhan for the first time last night and got these pieces:
Headdress of the High Potentate
Brooch of Unquenchable Fury
Shadowvine Cloak of Infusion
Bands of Indwelling
Gloves of Saintly Blessings
Blue Diamond Witchwand
For all you non-RPG-playing nooblets out there, “woot” is a word derived from the phrase “Wow, loot!”.

I must say I didn’t know the etymology of woot. I keep trying to write something clever to write but the lolcatz keep looping and I can’t stop laughing. I give.

My understanding has always been that “woot” originated as a hacker term for root (or administrative) access to a computer.

Looks like we’re both right:
Woot originated as a hacker term for root (or administrative) access to a computer. However, with the term as coincides with the gamer term, “w00t”.
“w00t” was originally a truncated expression common among players of Dungeons and Dragons tabletop role-playing game for “Wow, loot!” Thus the term passed into the net-culture where it thrived in video game communities and lost its original meaning and is used simply as a term of excitement.
