Jubs you got me saying wOOt

[spectorbassguy]

I can't believe it. I'm 44 frickin' years old and now I've caught this "wOOt" thing that Jubs says all the time. Oh well, gotta keep up with the times, eh?

BTW I'm really starting to G.A.S. for a Bongo 5. I didn't even really care for the look that much the first few times I saw them but you guys all make 'em sound so irresistable!

 

[spectorbassguy]

Oops is it "wOOt" or w00t"?

 

[Aussie Mark]

What is it? Is it supposed to be someone saying "root" with a speech impediment, or something else? Down here, we say "root" if we spot a hot chick, but I suspect that means something different to what jubjub is trying to say.

 

[spectorbassguy]

I think it is like at a basketball game when the crowd goes "wOOt" (or w00t") in a high pitch voice or like the last count or two of a measure in a song "wOOt" or "wOOt-wOOt" in the same high pitch voice.

But then what do I know - I'm 44 for cryin' out loud!

G.A.S.

Whilst we are on the subject of explanations....

What the hell is G.A.S supposed to mean?

Sorry if it is obvious and I am being a bit thick?

Thanks,

All is crystal clear now.

still no word on what exactly w00t means though? I've been wondering myself for quite some time now.

Or for those unfortunates that don't already own one: Get A Stingray.

ok ok
its a double zero
and it is meant like in w00t-w00t
and the whole thing starts with a computer geek language called leet
its when u replace letters with symboles and such
so spelling leet in leet is 1337
to hard to explain
and u dont have whole convos in leet u have short bits
like saying w00t

 

[Fuzzy Dustmite]

ah, makes sense now. Here's a web page that talks about it at lenth:

Geek language? C'mon, we're bass players, not keyboard players.

I looked up the link.

# "w00t", "w007", or "\^/007" or the smiley "\o/" is a common interjection, analogous to "Yeah!" or "Yippee!" It originated as a variant of the interjection "whew."

Yippee - now we know!
