Man, I'm getting old....

I've seen the term "woot" used in several postings and I had no idea what it meant. I guessed that it was a short form of "Woo Hoo!" and it turns out I was sort of right

For those of us that are "modern lexicon challenged", here's a cool site that could help: http://www.urbandictionary.com/

If you're getting to be an old fart like me and need some definitions of "bling bling" and "l337", check it out.

BTW, the definitions of geek is pretty funny.

Wait until the first time you pull out your back muscle at 29 from doing something mundane like bending over. Then, you will feel old.

Enjoy it while you got it.

Initial D is the name of a Japanese Manga (or comic book) that features drivers performing power drifts in their cars.

The comic I saw is composed of a variety of pictures of cars going way too fast for turns, with spectators showing faces in shock saying things like: "He cut it too short!" or "He's gonna hit the guardrail!" or "OMG! He drifted AROUND his opponent! Incredible!" etc.

This comic is supposedly behind the power drifting craze in Japan. God help us all if it starts to catch on here.

Isn't "woot" a Texas A&M thing? Been around for quite a while, if it's what I'm thinking of...

And what's a "Ho"? Is that something you dig dirt with?
