Originally posted by rathma Having played CS for the first time in a year this week, i was flooded with all of that retarded leet speak by 7 year olds. One thing i hate the most is when people say "j00". Example: I own j00, where did j00 get that?" If somebody said that to me in real life i would punch them in the face.

Well. Considering that the average person that leetspeaks is 13-25. I doubt you were talking to 7 year olds.

Sie konnen auch deutsch sprechen? Toll! Uber can mean a lot of different things. If you say 'uber mich', it means 'about me'. There is supposed to be an umlaut but I can't figure it out... too lazy.
Anyway, leet is gay. I can't even read it, all the leet people out there are wasting their time when they type because it's much easier to just type normally..... I usually just walk away in game when that happens... but that usually happens when someone killed me.... then they start typing in leet.
Uber is not an actual word, its a prefix that means "super" or "above". Like we have prefixes such as (super)script, (post)script, (re)create, (pre)view. Guess it could be taken as its own word, but technically it is a prefix.
And I forgot...does Toll = crazy?

Okay guys, since I am a retired cs vet, I will give you the 411 on how t3h L337 speak started. It is this simple, you know how people always miss spell stuff when they type somthing real fast cause they are being shot at or whatever? like [u]you are teh suxs[u/] "teh" is real, but miss spelt. and It mixes with chat room talk, hense sux or any 1 and crap like that. AFTER ALL THAT I guess they just started getting creative and adding letters that looked like words.
Evolution example...
Elite -> leet -> L337 -> 1337
So in my conclusion lol, that speak is nothing more than a type of quick chat that little kids use (or helped in the evolution to numbers).
oh yeah. remember some of you with calculators upside down typing 80085 (boobs)? I think that is how (l337) numbers were added in by people in 7th or 8th grade just learning this calculator trick. but whatever
Well, actually, Elite, Eleet, El33t, 3l33t. l33t. 733-|-. Then of course there is r33t. Etc.

i'm loving how this ended up being a 3 page multi-viewed discussion on the word UBER, lol. the point is that it migrated to leet speak and stuck, and redeems its retardedness every time some dude adds a different prefix or suffix. ie. UBERcool, or superUBER.
Originally posted by dekron I speak some German lol. Plus the word you are actually thinking of is Übermensch, not the same. Über is actually a prefix. But Übermensch basically means "Super Being", meaning above all other (human) beings. It was a term coined by Neitzche who used it to describe Nazi Germany. His thoughts were Germans were above everyone else so they are Übermensch, or as he defined it "master race". Hope that makes some sense, but basically if you just say "Uber" then you are out of context because "Über" has nothing to do with power or greatness, it just means above, like superscript --------------------------------------------33.333333333333336% of me is a huge nerd!

What a load of nonsense. Nietzsche died before the Nazi party even came into existence. He wasn't even alive during 'Nazi Germany'. Übermensch was coined by Nietzsche, that much is true, and if you read Thus Spoke Zarathrusta you'll see it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with politics, much less Nazis.
The Nazis travestied Nietzsche's work and did use it as propaganda, but Nietzsche was in no way a proponent of German nationalism, much less all the implications of Nazi Germany.

If you were talking about Hitler, I wouldn't say anything, but Nietzsche! You don't know what you're talking about. Where does Nietzsche claim these things?
Why do you say these things when you aren't in possession of the facts?
