Woot originated as a hacker term for root (or administrative) access to a computer. However, with the term as coincides with the gamer term, "w00t".  "w00t" was originally an trunicated expression common among players of Dungeons and Dragons tabletop role-playing game for "Wow, loot!" Thus the term passed into the net-culture where it thrived in video game communities and lost its original meaning and is used simply as a term of excitement. "I defeated the dark sorcerer! Woot!"  "woot! i r teh flagmastar!" (Think Tribes)  "Woot, I pwnzed this dude's boxen!'

and there's wood, would, woof, Wookie, wool...
