Woot is an interjection similar to "YAYE!" or "Woohoo!" used to express joy or excitement, usually about some kind of accomplishment. Primarily used by gamers, spreading rapidly to anyone who chats online.

Woot是跟“耶!”或“噢吼!”等感嘆詞類似一個詞，多用來表達(dá)欣喜或興奮之情(網(wǎng)友多用“狂喜”二字解釋woot)，而且多在取得成就時使用。這個詞最初只是游戲玩家常用，后來又迅速傳播到網(wǎng)聊人群當(dāng)中。

Woot originated as a hacker term for root (or administrative) access to a computer. However, with the term as coincides with the gamer term, "w00t", which was originally a truncated expression common among players of Dungeons and Dragons tabletop role-playing game for "Wow, loot!" Thus the term passed into the net-culture where it thrived in video game communities and lost its original meaning and is used simply as a term of excitement.

Woot這個詞本來是黑客用語，指電腦的根登入系統(tǒng)(即管理員登入系統(tǒng))。不過，因為跟游戲用語w00t外形相似，才得以在網(wǎng)絡(luò)文化中傳播，興起于視頻游戲圈，之后脫離其原意而成為單純用來表示興奮之情的一個感嘆詞。游戲用語w00t是桌面角色扮演游戲《龍與地下城》的玩家常用的一個詞，是“Wow, loot!”(喔，贏了!)這兩個詞的縮略形式。

For example:

I defeated the dark sorcerer! Woot!

我大敗了黑巫師!耶!
