    2007's word of the year is none other than w00t!

    U.S. dictionary Merriam-Webster has crowned w00t (yes, thats a w and a t separated by two zeros) as the word of the year for 2007.

    Sorry Tig, that was my doing!

    I was meant to merge the lifestyle thread with your GD thread but got them the other way around!

    I've now moved the thread back to GD though, so errr...w00t?

    Re: 2007's word of the year is none other than w00t!

    the word of the year should have been "Lulz".. which is a corruption of L.O.L., which stands for laugh out loud.

    1. Anonymous gets BIG lulz from pulling random pranks!

    2. ..But truely EPIC lulz come from raids and invasions.
