Anyone know leet?

by gambit in

i have a 15 year old, how is very computer savvy... i try to keep up on all of the language, but this one is really difficult.. does leet mutate, it sure seems to?

anyway, the real question is, does anyone know the meaning of 1336?

i can't figure it out.

iiz2cool - Fabulous - Thanks... That fills in all the basics, now I have to work on the slang .

I just figured out what Linux was (and learned the correct pronounciation)

So, is it LeyeNIX or LynnIX ?

Not sure about all these foreign languages... I don't think you can learn them after the age of 13 ~~adolescense~~ responsibility.

I ancay eakspay igpay atinlay oughthay... I was always called onray and when I learned pig-latin and I thought I was just being called by name... ... I later found out they really meant ornery, they just didn't know how to pronounce it.

@ Gumby...

I'm an idiot too... You wouldn't believe some of the bad translations I've made... It's worse than learning Spanish from a French native. When you're learning a new language, you invariably fail to realize how the cultural slang affects the real usage... that's where I think I'm at with parts of this language.

So, less = cooler, wow, confusing... I interpreted it as less than elite, ie, not of the same group of people... but it wasn't adding up based on the conversations... It's hard to keep up with what they are really up to, and who there "real" friends are.

I thought 1337 simply meet leet. I see know how that means cool... Leet = Elite = Of the Elite Class = Cool...
I guess that's how it would break down... I need to come up to speed more on today's hacker language...

Maybe even give it another go around.
I was a hacker in the 80's... things have changed just a little.

Thanks Wordly girl...

Is anyone aware of a good leet reference desk?

if it's a kingdom song please tell and please tell us what popular song you detested.

Music Banned by the WTS

by Nosferatu in

here are some of the bands, preformers, songs, and albums that the watchtower society has banned from it's members.

see if you can spot your favorite!!.

w93 2/22 25-27take heavy-metal music-a particularly noxious form of hard rock that is usually played at ear-splitting volume.

Time magazine said: "The band names alone conjure up images of mayhem, torture and death." The same can be said of the horrifying artwork that adorns the album covers and that often depicts satanic symbols.

And they've never done this with the WT covers

In virtually all rock 'n' roll dances done by youths, the partners do not touch. The twist is viewed by many as having been the beginning of this type of dancing. An interviewer for Look magazine reported awhile back:
"The characteristic dances of our new age of revelry are all variants of the twist. . . . The dancers do not touch, they do not talk. . . . Each does whatever charade the name of the dance calls for. . . . They look as if their bodies are screaming.

Isn't this the way we were taught... don't touch or talk (without the 3rd party there)! It might lead to kissing... and then you know what immediately follows
