I was responding to a discussion last night, well really this morning, and wanted to use a smiley. I began thinking about all the expressions one could use when responding here. Wondered if anybody had a favorite one or one that represented them... Ok brain get back to the response already!
Well heck, my favorite emote is so I'll use that. Yep it's my favorite because it represents my hyper, scatter brain, A.D.D. attitude and I do use it a lot! Well I got finished with the reply finally!
Then I started thinking, you see my mind wanders big time at 2;00am, what does really mean.... so I went to Google of course! Here's what I found:
1. woot
Woot originated as a hacker term for root (or administrative) access to a computer. However, with the term as coincides with the gamer term, "w00t".
"w00t" was originally an truncated expression common among players of Dungeons and Dragons tabletop role-playing game for "Wow, loot!" Thus the term passed into the net-culture where it thrived in video game communities and lost its original meaning and is used simply as a term of excitement.
(By the time I did all that I was too tired to post anything else - LOL)
So which myLot Emote represents you? C'mon tell us why??
