Day 1337, does anyone care?( I considered this too pointless and irrelevent for general discussion, even though it is Cantr related)

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 11:12 pm**

Fortunantly, no, no one cares.

I'd have to saber anyone who did. :twisted:

Amen.

I got (more than) a giggle out of it...

What is the significance?

Posted: **Wed Nov 02, 2005 12:41 am**

1337 is nerdspeak (they have some other word for that, but basically, nerdspeak is what it is) for "elite".

Nerdspeak indeed. Hmph. Actually 1337 means leet. It is a "language" often used in first person shooters, such as Counter-Strike or Battlefield 1942. This is the 1337 alphabet compared to regualr.
4 8 C D 3 F 6 H I J K 1 M N 0 9 Q R 5 7 U V W X Y 2
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Here are some common phrases:
1337 = leet. name of "laguage." Also used to say elite.
h4x0r = haxor. means either hacker or a really good person. I.E. im such 4 1337 h4x0r!
n00b = noob. derogative name for a new player. also refers to a really sucky player.
Pwn = Own. I.E. I pwned ur ass!

And some that most are familiar with:
brb = be right back
g2g = got to go
afk = away from keyboard
lol = laugh out loud
lmao = laughing my ass off
rofl = rolling on floor laughing
omg = oh my god
omfg = oh my fucking god

And Agar, I'd like to see you sabre me for caring :lol:

Oh, wow, I got a complete introductory course in nerdspeak. :wink:

I'd like to smack anyone that consistantly writes like that. It's far worse than even Piespeak. :shock:

I noticed....oh and you forgot the obligatory exclamation marks!!!!!!1111111oneone

look up 'leet' on the wikipedia - it's all you'll ever need to know

it started out on BB boards as a way of avoiding censoring of swearing and talking about illegal sofware exchanges
It's now mostly used by teenagers, I became quite fluent way back...

Back in the days before my idiot mother installed a new firewall without telling me, ruining my steam app, I always used to intentionally hunt and kill nerdspeakers in CS. I miss that game, nothing like shooting people in the face with a shotgun to ease tension.

Nerds!!

Never underestimate the power of nerds, Dee. Never.

I could tell you why, but I'd have to kill you. And nobody wants that.

Just remember, we are exposed to worlds that most other people aren't. We... KNOW things... :lol:
