w00t is 3rd Favorite Non-Dictionary Word

Posted by Zonk on from the not-a-fan-of-confuzzled dept.

Jay writes "The word has been getting out apparently. No longer just a word for gamers, 'woot' now appears as #3 in Merriam-Webster's What's Your Favorite Word (That's Not in the Dictionary)? contest. It was beaten out by ginormous and confuzzled."

    Maybe because that word has been overused to the point that I cringe when I hear/read it.

    Gaming is a bigger economy than movies. So your "gaming subculture" is not a subculture at all. It's the mainstream.
