I will never be
sorry enough. I invented 'woot'. It was back in my
MUDding days on
Sojourn. I used it as an
exclamation of
ecstasy whenever I struck the
killing blow to a
monster. It spread like
wildfire over the entire MUD, and I had believed it
limited to that branch of the 'net.
Then one day, after Sojourn's split and
Toril's eventual demise, I went on
EFnet, looking for a game to while away the newly-freed
night hours, and alas, I saw on the
screen a
phrase that stole my
breath away: 'w00t! I g0tZ
t1b3r1@N 5Un!! /msg me!'
I'm so, so sorry.
