What the heck does this stand for/mean/represent/etc.?

Why do I feel like flying into a rage every time I see it on the internet?
... and that's all I have to say about that.

For some reason, all the 1337 h4x0ring manga obssesed kids use this word.
"They think im crazy..
but i know better.
It is not I who am crazy.
It is I who am mad.."

in "h4x0|2 sp34|<", w00t means "root", in the Unix sense.

However, llamas today now use it as a synonym for "woo hoo!"

Example: "I just ruled Quake 3! w00t!"
"You must stab him in the heart with the Bone Saber of Zumacalis... well, you could stab him in the head or the lungs, too... and the saber, it probably doesn't have to be bone, just anything sharp lying around the house... you could poke him with a pillow and kill him."

Oh yeah, that reminds me of another "word" - l33t - what's that mean?
... and that's all I have to say about that.

1337 is elite

Example: 1337 h4x0r is an elite hacker in English :)

How do you say, "I'll beat your ass in the parking lot, you little douchebag" in hackerspeak? That phrase should be tied to a hotkey. lol

Just for everyone's info, calling a person a llama is equivalent to calling them lame.

I learned about the whole llame thing about a year ago when someone called me one, and then I asked everyone what it meant. Then they proceeded to make me feel like an idiot for not knowing what it meant.

Do you mean the animal?
Or is there some hidden meaning to "llama"?
Should I be concerned that all my "friends" have been calling me "llama" and then snickering madly for the past 12 years?
What about the times they called me "loud" and "obnoxious"?
... and that's all I have to say about that.

I wasn't quite sure which comments you were being sarcastic on, so I chose not to reply.
