Confused (Semantics)

What is up with poo (i.e. what could easily be feces) being referred to as p00 here? Did I miss some |337 revolution?




sorry if this offends anyone, not mocking/degrading, just a pet peeve -_-

Haha...well I don't know. I guess a few people use it as a way to pretty up the usual word. I guess it just looks cuter? lol..I dunno... I just spell it that way cuz I'm used to the "1337" language from playing Counter-Strike all the time, so it just comes out that way. :(

That one can be traced to/blamed on Smulkin, as far as I know. And ya know, people are sheep so we copied him, at least some of us sometimes.

Why not - it is a herculean effort to "keep it clean" for me so I guess I overcompensate in the opposite direction. Like bewbs or something I guess :P Also because I won't miss an opportunity to deride any "|337" linguistics (unless I can use it sarcastically to my advantage).

Where were you sheep when we needed ya!

<.< gosh I hate |337

:D never have been a sheep.

Hey I am just thrilled the word semantics got used - there's hope for us yet ;)

The spoken/written/typed word, and the languages they pertain to--when used in any way in their ever changing forms--is a topic of great study and personal passion.

933|<5!!! ;)

Could be worse I suppose. I have met people who speak entirely in binary.

Wow you're joking right? Haha...I can't understand binary for the life of me. It's bad enough that I know "1337" a bit from playing Counter-strike. I'd feel so nerdy if I was all into binary too. :)

Nope. They type binary, they attempt to make sounds for binary, all in all their lives are ruled by 1's and 0's...the only saving grace is that they're awesome to watch the Matrix trilogy with.

whats binary ??

and just what the $*&^ is that!

lol i was wondering the same exact thing..............lol

I don't even know what this l337 stuff is.

lol me either :?

It seems me and you are outta the loop :roll: lol

Binary is where everything is represented as 0's or 1's. For example, the number 12 is represented as 1100 in binary. Even text can be broken down into binary by using the ASCII codes.

I know what binary is (I'm not that bad off), what is this l337 stuff?!
