Well, they used to..... white-boy wannabe's too.

Whoot is an 80's rap music thing, with a meaning kind of like woo-hoo. As in "Can I get a whoot, whoot?" "Whoot, whoot!" It's considered old-school now, and I haven't heard anyone use it for awhile. I guess it migrated to the internet and turned into w00t.

Does anyone remember the single by 95 south, "Whoot, there it is"? I remember it playing almost constantly on the radio one summer. Damn annoying song, too. And now, thanks to you all, I will have it in my head all day! ARRRRRGH!

haha i remember that song, its in the space jam movie(loony toons and mikeal jordan[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img])

but on the net woot means Hell yeah or just yeah.

I believe it evolved from the word "root" - used by hackers who manage to gain access to a certain system "gaining root command" as in a linux world where the root directory is total admin control.

Before Linux there was Unix, always remember that n00b. ;p
