"Merriam-Webster's president, John Morse, said "w00t" was an ideal choice because it blends whimsy and new technology."

And thus society took one more step towards the Ninth Circle. At least it'll be over soon.

And since when is whimsy a proper criteria for judging language? Or anything?

What is this from?

and not a single one of you could just tell me what w00t means? Now I have to move mouse and type more words?!? are you trying to get me killed?

Wow loot? Why even make up a term to mean that? And why are Webster's Dictionary people discussing the word? Can the human species ever stop embarassing themselves?

Odd movie but strangely compelling. I couldn't force myself to look away.
