Do you know what woot means?
A manager responded simply “Woot!” to a team-wide mail message today. I have read and heard the term woot (or w00t) for years and, though I have never traced its etymology, I grok its meaning. So I didn’t give the message another thought.
And then replies started showing up from people who had searched for the word because they didn’t know what the manager meant.
There are people who write software for a living who haven’t heard of w00t? And they’re in the team I work in? Amazing.
Well you just added some new words to my vocabulary.
Woot Woot! w00t.
