"w00t" is added to the dictionary; old people confused

Yes, “w00t” is a word, officially. Just look at that word for a moment. w00t. Now you must be wondering “That shit ain’t a word, man. It’s got two numbers smack dab in between a dubya and a tee!” If that is indeed you saying that statement, congratulations…..your wrong and your old. According to this, the good people at Merriam-Webster Inc. have named “w00t” the new word of the year and are going to add it to the dictionary. L33t speak (pronounced “Leet Speak,” “leet” being a degenerate form of the word “elite”) has been around the net forever, but it wasn’t until a good friend of mine introduced the proper name for the language a couple of months ago. The term “Pwn” has been in my vocab for a while now and I use it in my everyday speak. Sometimes I get people who get it while others just look at me like I just said I like to smash bottles into my face for fun. But I’m still old compared to the kiddies whose entire vocab is proliferated with the terms. Every time I go to Riverpark or the mall, I can’t pass a group of teens with hearing a “WTF” or a “BFF” as they walk by, increasing my urge to SMASH and wondering “What the fuck am I doing here?” follwed by a “Fuck I’m old” (notice I didn’t abbreviate of those). The world is truly turning into that damn AT&T commercial and if that’s the stuff I’m going to have to deal with with my kids, someone’s gonna end up getting choked! But for now, the intro of l33t speak words to our “normal” speak dictionary can only mean the end is near. Or those uncreative bastards over at Merriam-Webster are just a bunch of saps looking to gather some attention the the fledgling dictionary industry.
