133t speak
Last modified: Monday, September 08, 2008
Slang used by hackers and by gamers on
multiplayer game servers and in chatrooms. 133t
is the slang word for "leet" which is short for
elite, meaning the best. 133t speak usually consists of
numbers replacing vowels in words (example: A=0, E=3), but occasionally
the numbers will replace a consonant. It cannot really be spoken or handwritten
— as such it is considered to be an Internet language dependent on a
keyboard.
