Language mistakenly thought to be started by hackers, however it was started by crackers who populated newsgroups and broke into computers for malicious purposes. Now commonly used among people with IQ less than 10 because they are compensating for the fact they that know almost nothing about computers. Sidenote- Hackers still use l337 occasionally as a way of making fun of the less intelligent.

Just a goofy way of saying Elite... Mostly used now as a joke more than anything.
I'm L337 I'm Elite

Short for "Elite" in "l337 speak".
Samir Mohan is elite. Samir MOhan is l337.

a sort of language once used to evade authority, and of people finding out about hackers on search engines, it's a language originally consiting of only numbers and letters. now it's used by assholes who think they're so cool and wannabe's who spend toouch time studying megatokyo.

Originally brought up from the gutters of the great hacking from 1995-2002. This language is most found up when on forums, websites and 'clans' . The language that many use on the internet to proclaim a different style of speech. The obsession with 'L337NESS' is to be cooler than the other guy. To be so called more 'Ub3r than the other' A high stated person on the internet will be spoken to using this language as a sign of greatly respected value. Although this language seems to be of the highest fashion on the internet, it's nothing but a dispectful scandal against the hackers that used it to save themselfs from the FBI.
uR ub3r L33T. A great example to be seen of the language, visit your nearest geek forums.
