l33t is when you replace letters with numbers or symbols to make a word that looks the the original. It is usually used as slang in online games or by computer programmers where !337 (LEET) is short for Elite... basically it means you are one of the best.

You could write the term "leetspeak" as "!337$p34k". Usually I see it just written as l33t, !337, or |337 in online games.

"937 |7?" GET IT? =)

Rant on:

If I see the 'word' PW3ND one more time I will hunt down the person who invented it and strangle him/her myself. THERE IS NO 'O' SOUND IN THE LETTER 'P'!!! It's not like PHAT where the 'ph' actually makes the sound of a 'F'. Why not just spell it 0WN3D then?! For Christ sakes!

Rant off.

Thanks, Rachel! :* I'm glad you're there to explain it to old fogies like me. [Smile] I guess it's cool alright, in a distorted kind of way. [Wink]

I have seen stuff written like that, but this one sure went over my head. They could have been talking about a processor for all I knew. I guess it's because they aren't using common rules for abbreviations (e.g., 'lite, for "elite"). And then, misspelling it as LEET is an even further stretch, I suppose, to confuse the unenlightened.

You're so cool. [Cool]

Good frickin' grief. Most teens today can barely spell real English words... now they're inventing ways to spell with numbers. They should be using all that spare time to take a spelling/grammar/usage class.

They feel it is not worth it due to spell checkers. Proper spelling is very important to me.

Bot Tim, you sure got PW3ND. Heheheh. Yeah, I do alot of stuff online. Its originally alot of hacker crap. I dabbled in that too, but I sure don't use the leet crap. If I wanted to say I owned you, I'd say "I owned you!" flat out. A little trash talking is good for a competitive game, computer, online, or elsewhere. The leetness of the kids today and the one's my age, cause I'm not that old, yet, are leading to the dumbing up of the world today. We did use similar slang back on the local BBSes (Connecting at 1200bps). I was surfin the local stuff on my C64. And I still have it too, in perfect working order. Why? I dunno.

A Carsicle caught in Cheyenne, WY the other day. I bet that front tire needs frequent replacement!

Okay... I've just entered another phase of my mid-life crisis with two convertibles. It's the start of two long-term projects.

Greg: Are you serious with that pic? If so, that IS so HAWT!

Those are really cool cars!

When I went thru the mid-life thing, I just bought the traditional red corvette convertible ...divorced my wife ... and got a 19 y/o BF! [Wink] [beer] [Eek!]

Thanks, Phil. The first part of my mid-life crisis involved these two four-door models. I love them! Other folks don't seem very impressed. But the convertibles should help those other folks understand my fondness for the whole "family." (I wonder if I'll end up with the fastback and station wagon models someday too.) Anyway, you know it's a mid-life crisis because I didn't have any of these cars 13 months ago!
