It seems kind of late, lol. The word of the year should be something like, "ORLY."

Link fixed.

Meanwhile, this just means I have to acknowledge it as a real word at all. At least it has decent vernacular uses.

@ Silver wolf- You need to copy and paste the address to the bar, and take off the extra "http://".

Also the print is very small, I could read it but because Im very lazy I won't.

Well you can see why its not in the actual dictionary, because it has two zero's in it. But its in the Urban Dictionary.

Woot is a pretty cool word. I wonder if each of the letters in "WOOT" used to stand for something at one time (like IIRC and AFAIK and OTOH all do)? Either way, it's a straightforward expression of joy, and pretty cool.

I only use WOOT when I'm very excited about something and very happy. Even though already I like to be happy.
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
