definition per another website=

leet, also known as eleet or leetspeak, is an alternative alphabet for the English language that is used primarily on the Internet. It uses various combinations of ASCII characters to replace Latinate letters. For example, leet spellings of the word leet include 1337 and l33t; eleet may be spelled 31337 or 3l33t.

The term leet is derived from the word elite. The leet alphabet is a specialized form of symbolic writing. Leet may also be considered a substitution cipher, although many dialects or linguistic varieties exist in different online communities.

The term leet is also used as an adjective to describe formidable prowess or accomplishment, especially in the fields of online gaming and in its original usage, computer hacking.

Only people who cannot control their "1337ness" are douches. People who do control it are cool. NoEffex, RedHate, Warlock, Shroom, HSx9, etc. "1337" can also be used to describe your hacking "strength/skill/ability". Like the people I mentioned above have outstanding "1337ness" for their amazing achievements in the hacking community.

1337 - Hacker "Sp33k" for leet, or elite. Originating from 31337 "eleet", the UDP port used by Dead Cow Cult, a hacker group, to access Windows 95 using Back Orifice, a notorious hacking program.


Its getting overused now. Kinda like n00b. A n00b used to be someone new to a game, now a "n00b" is pretty much everyone. Now anyone that can get a nuke is "1337"......
