Title: Expanding my education in "Geek-talk"
Post by: juslight on March 06, 2002, 08:43:33 AM

I was just wondering where that "rOxors" (sp?) thing came from.
please explain this to me....  I feel like I\'m missing something.

Thanks.

It came from the h4x0rs.

Yeah, from some hacking type community. They find it erotic (since they have no more than rosy palm) to type in made up english/number combo\'s

For example:

3 = e
8 =B
1 = L
4 = a

...and so on...

So...

7h15 7hr34d 5uxx0r5!!!!!!!!

(BTW... Just kidding hackers... Don\'t ruin me:shy: )

If you play Counter-Strike, you\'ll notice a fairly popular third party map set in a Las Vegas casino.  When you go outside the building, there\'s a statue of a Sphinx, clearly indicating an Egyptian theme like the real Luxor hotel in Vegas.  The name at the top of the building however says HAXOR not Luxor.  I thought that was funny as hell when I first saw that.

You might also say "man that be 3r337" where 3r337 stands for "elite" but is actually pronounced "three are three three seven."

Except when SS did it, he went overboard.

It\'d be more like, u R not l33t, i 0wn j00.

Then again, who cares?  j00?
