leetspeak
A form of writing whereby some letters in a word are replaced by a numerical likeness or other letters that create an identical or similar sound.This style of writing was originally in use by hackers who were attempting to bypass word-filtering on mail servers. For instance, they would use the term 'haxorz' to replace 'hackers'.
Internet users new to hacking adopted the style in an attempt to emulate those more experienced, and usage became widely spread.In recent times the method is almost never used to avoid word-filtering software, but rather to satirise
script kiddies and 12 year olds, or to
abbreviate for faster typing. It's interesting to note that in most cases it takes more time to type in leetspeak (due to the constant
swapping between numbers and letters) than it would take to just type the words properly.When using leetspeak, you should be aware that you are almost definitely coming across as a moron.

1. Common language in games used by
prepubescent males, usually those with intelligence quotients lower than 80 or just those that have no outside lives. Usually used by
caucasians as black people and mexicans can rarely afford computers that keep up with the latest games.
2.
Toned down version of English containing no large words and involves concentrating mental energy on deciphering the random sequence of numbers and symbols passed off as "words" Probably the most advanced thing "13375p33k" users can accomplish
Example:
Leetspeak = 13375p33k
I win, I beat you = 1 p@wn3d
