From Wiki -
The origin of the term is widely disputed. Some claim that word originated in competitive online gaming as an acronym for "we own other team". Others trace the current usage of the word "w00t" to hackers in the early to mid-'80s who used it as a term of celebration for gaining root access in Unix systems; see leet. Still others attribute the term to players of Dungeons and Dragons as being shorthand for "Wow, loot!" Regardless of the origin, the term has been adapted to mean a general expression of elation.
