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?:D

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!:D

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.

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!:eek:

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?

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

:D 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!:p
