Hi, my question may sound stupid but i'm not english or american and i have seen too many times people talking about "1337 players" or something like that....by the context i guessed that it means "an awesome player" but i'm not sure.
Can anybody tell me what does "1337" means and why?

Thanks a lot and sorry if my question sounds silly... eek:

elite

[Thermopyle]

Its stoopid talk for elite. Shortened to LEET. Then changed into numbers. 1337. See? Stoopid. Or maybe 5700916. oOo:

[Miscguy]

Its a Half-life: Counter Strike thing. I know... I know... very gay.

That is some n00bz way of saying Elite that somehow became popular.. I even think that some people think they are elite simply because they know what |337 stands for.. It's silly really..

If you were to hear me say "a l337 player".. I would probably be mocking some idiots "my shit don't stink" attitude or something.

Yeah, if anyone calls themselves l337 , shoot them in the throat. mwah:

Thanks a lot.
...what a complicated way to just say "good player"..... oOo:

[vVolf]

Well, people usually try to feel good about themselves, to they call themselves l33t. Yes, it is quite sad, but some people need a confidence boost.

[Hyndelyke-SS]

I guess there is like a whole entier freakin language out there with this type of wording.

[vVolf]

Yes, I call it nooblet language.
Translated into nooblet language:
Y35, 1 C4l| i7 n008l3t L4ngu4gE!!121111!!
