I liked CRUFT, too, and immediately thought of a few physics grads. Oddly, I didn't think of CRAFT, but I did think of CRUNK. Melissa: "I had no idea." You are clearly trying to make it clear that you are NOT a geek. uh huh. Sure. Okay. :) Becky: I want a full transcription of your sentences.

I vow to use it three times today, in the three definition contexts. I like cruft because it sounds like craft and has three awesomely different-yet-the-same definitions, and involves geekery.

Sometimes w00t just fits the bill better than any other word. At the risk of revealing just how much of a geek I am, w00t is spelled with zeroes as it is a leet (or l33t) vocabulary word. L33tZ commonly used with IMing, text messaging, by gamers and on chat boards. You can find out more than you ever wanted to know about l33t here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet. While I am rather fluent (because I am a geek), I, personally, am not a fan of l33t. I think it's superfluous and used by either serious geeks or serious poseurs. Well, I do make exceptions for a few words like w00t, OMG, IMO,... But not full-out phrases and conversations. w00t! :) I agree, Melissa,… Sometimes w00t just fits the bill better than any other word.

Although, when I lived in Australia, people said 'woot' all of the time. I have no idea why it's spelled with zeros instead of the letter 'o'. Am I hallucinating?</p> I love w00t.
