To go with woot (properly spelled, w007), I submit leet (1337).

I use both regularly, because just because they were invented by lamers doesn't mean they are great words.

In high school we had a German soccer coach. A good friend of mine, and one of our best players, had fled Vietnam via boat following the US withdrawal, and as such, English was his second language.

Between Coach and Huang, the exclamation, "How Luck!" was hammered out as the response to sudden, unexpected incidents of good fortune. To this day, I will frequently catch myself thinking, and even on occaission stating out loud, "How Luck!" when something unexpectedly goes my way.

Where are tire boogers? That is the mass of snow that builds up behind your tire that you have to knock off your car before you drive into the garage.

7. phonecrastinate (v): to put off answering the phone until caller ID displays the incoming name and number

I not only do that at work, but I'm likely to make you leave a message because I don't want to talk to you that moment. Your phone call is not more important than what I'm working on 99% of the time.

nother, as is "That's a whole nother story".

If that makes the list, then we have to include the ubiquitous "supposably".
