About Our Name
L33tspeak (pronounced "leet speak") started in the 1980s in the hacker community. Some say it was born of a need to avoid the prying eyes of keyword searches, while others say it was really just a form of graffiti-like expression in a drab, text-based world.
The first and most basic rule of l33tspeak is to change certain letters to similar-looking numbers or symbols - for example, "e" becomes "3," "a" becomes "4" or "@," and so forth.
The word "l33t" itself (also "L337") is really "leet," a corruption of "elite" and meaning someone who is very good at what they do. The opposite would be a "n00b" (short for "newbie") or a "lamer" (also "llama").
