--------- Blatant copy and pasting follows ---------
W00t stems from 80's hacker lingo. When a hacker 'rooted' (got root access to) a 'box' (a computer hooked up to the internet) he would exclaim "woot. (I have root.)" Later use spread to the hacker's lesser brethren, the gamer, and most hackers no longer use the term.

Yeah, it's usually a cry of excitment. "w00t! i just pwned dat j3d1!!!!!" for instance.
