1337 = L33T = LEET = Elite.
1337 Language represents writing in symbols instead of letters. For example, but not limited to:
1 = I / L
3 = E
4 = A
5 = S
6 = SH (in some languages)
7 = T
0 = O
+ = T
|_ = L
\/ = V
etc.

You can notice some l33t sp34k in
Linkin Park - Reanimation album song titles
(Frgt/10; P5hng Me A*wy; Plc.4 Mie Haed)
Megatokyo comic strip
(3Y3 |\|33d j00 t0 g47z d4 d0c70r. 3Y3 g07z s0m3 b4d p4|n 1|\| m4 ch4s7, | n33d m4 p|11z!)
and many many more.

It is banned on some games. There is an Urban Dictionary of L33T on Google.

Here are some L33T words:
R0F1C0PT3R, N00B, R0FLM40, PL0X, FR33 ST00F.

I find it quite an interesting text.

It's just that I saw L33T (1337) on games and such (Like mario and luigi partners in time)

Thanks guys! you rock!

As far as I know, the word "noob" has is origin in 1337... Is this true?

No it is not.. Noob is a "shortcut" for Newb wich comes out of the word Newby wich means someone is inexperienced to something (New to something)

Hm, okay... Then it is "only" used very often in 1337^^

its supposed to be (E)1337 looking like the word elite when texted.

No it is not.. Noob is a "shortcut" for Newb wich comes out of the word Newby wich means someone is inexperienced to something (New to something)

No it's not. Noob and Newb have two different meanings.


Newbie = Someone who is new to something.

N00b = Some kind of spammy idiot that has no will to learn and types in internet slang.

so true! This thread went totally off-topic. The Topic Creators questions were already answered, so I guess it's time for the topic to get closed.
