I'm sure some people would say there wasn't that much to cheer about in 2007, but Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year goes against the grain -- the word in question is "w00t." (Yes, those <EM> are</EM> zeroes, in case you were wondering.) 
</p> <P>
According to the dictionary publisher, the word, which emerged from gamer culture, is defined as: "expressing joy (it could be after a triumph, or for no reason at all); similar in use to the word 'yay'." It's also supposedly derived from the phrase, "We owned the other team."</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/26850FBF-E53A-4645-B6EB-70C2D8850185/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
