Etymology

Woot is a happy shout people use online to show 'joy' or 'excitement'. It likely began as a quick cheer like 'whoop' or 'woohoo' and then people started typing it as w00t with zeros, and a helpful way to remember it is the joke 'we owned the other team', though the real use is simply to celebrate.
