Leetspeak (colloquially known as "leet" and "eleet") is a manipulation of the English language primarily for use on the internet. Leetspeak uses a variety of ASCII characters to replace letters:
- For example, the word "elite" can be replaced with "1337" where the numbers have a similar appearance to the word "leet" which is short for "elite".
- In another example, the word "hacker" can be replaced with "H4X0R".
It is important to note, however, that leetspeak is usually different from Internet slang (colloquially known as "chatspeak") which normally uses a combination of acronyms and symbols that can be easily understood:
- For example, the phrase "laugh out loud" originated from the acronym "LOL" which is representative of the user laughing.
- In another example, a user may signify that he is happy by using the symbol "=)", which has a similar appearance to a smiley face. Note that the equal sign, "=", is sometimes replaced with a colon, ":", and the parenthesis, ")", may sometimes be replaced with a bracket, "]".

L33T is the same thing as 1337 its the language where you replace letters with numbers also known as leetspeak or leetors (ex- 7h15 15 5p34k1ng 1337 (this is speaking leet)) Most players find this really annoying.\] Using the "@" is some people make an "a" but is not the real way, susposed to be numbers for letters, not signs.
What is Sauce Plox?
"Sauce pl0x" is a corruption of "Source please", as attested to by usage in Chan forums in this manner (4chan, 7chan, etc.). In text communication as used in videogames, forums and chatrooms pl0x can be used instead of please (See "1337" or "leetspeak"), and "sauce" is nearly a homonym of "source", which considering netspeak's disregard of ortography and grammar makes it an acceptable and humorous substitute.

Where did 1337 speak come from?
1337 speak, also known as leetspeak, originated in the early days of the internet among hacker and gaming communities as a way to obscure messages from non-technical individuals and add a sense of exclusivity to their communication. It involves replacing letters with numbers or special characters that resemble them, such as using "3" for "E" or "@' for "A." Over time, leetspeak has evolved and is now used for fun, irony, or nostalgia in various online communities.
Where do heinz baked beans come from?
The real deal Heinz Baked Beans come from the UK, although until 1928, Britain actually imported them from Canada. Folks in the US can order them from various online web sites, including one large bookseller, for about $2 per can, if you can't find them locally. The real Heinz Baked Beans, now called just "Heinz Beanz" (ugh, now even beans are subject to leetspeak spelling?) are not the same as the Vegetarian Baked Beans sold by Heinz in the US, which have 50% more calories due to containing more sugar. Accept no substitutes. Buy the REAL Heinz Baked Beans, not the "southernized" US vegetarian version (if you've ever tasted how sweet iced tea is in the southeast US, you know what I mean by southernized). If you mean, what kind of beans they are, I believe they're haricot beans.
Where did 1337 come from?
1337 = leet as in elite (type 1337 on a calculator and turn it upside-down) It can mean that someone is very good at a game, or anything really. It's the opposite of noob, as in newbie. NOTE: Noob and newb are 2 different things. A noob is someone who doesn't follow the rules because they don't care, but a newb is someone who doesn't follow the rules because they are new and don't know them.
What is the origin of hacking?
The term was used pejoratively by mathematician John Nash. When he became a C.L.E Moore Instructor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1951, he brought this term with him.[1]The term achieved widespread use in the 1960s and its meaning then evolved to a quick, elaborate and/or bodged solution students devised for a technical obstacle; it was used withhacker, meaning one who discovers and implements a hack. The Jargon File, a glossary of slang from technical cultures at the MIT AI Lab, the Stanford AI Lab, Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Carnegie Mellon University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and others gave the tongue-in-cheek derivation "German word meaning 'someone who makes furniture with an axe'". This derivation was carried through when the Jargon File was eventually published as "The Hacker's Dictionary" in 1983 and later republished as "The New Hacker's Dictionary". However any student of German will know that the German word 'Hacker' (literal translation: "someone who chops") has nothing to do with making furniture, and that the derivation was intended as a wise-crack.Over time, the meaning of the word there was expanded, perhaps through contact with the amateur radio community. It came to mean either a kludge, or the opposite of a kludge, as in a clever or elegant solution to a difficult problem. In the term "hack value" it also acquired a meaning of anything that was simultaneously fun and clever.The initial hacker community at MIT, particularly those associated with the Tech Model Railroad Club, applied this pre-existing local slang to computer programming, producing the variant which first came into common use outside MIT.The term "hack" was first used by US university computing centre staff in the mid-1960s. The context determined whether the complimentary or derogatory meanings were implied. Phrases such as "ugly hack" or "quick hack" generally referred to the latter meaning; phrases such as "cool hack" or "neat hack", to the former. In modern computer programming, a "hack" can refer to a solution or method which functions correctly but which is "ugly" in its concept, which works outside the accepted structures and norms of the environment, or which is not easily extendable or maintainable (see kludge). The programmer keeps beating on it until a solution is found. The jargon used by hackers is called "Hackish" (see the Jargon file). This should not be confused with "1337" or "leetspeak."In a similar vein, a "hack" may refer to works outside of computer programming. For example, a math hack means a clever solution to a mathematical problem. The GNU General Public License has been described as[who?] a copyright hack because it cleverly uses the copyright laws for a purpose the lawmakers did not foresee. All of these uses now also seem to be spreading beyond MIT as well.On many internet websites and in everyday language the word "hack" can be slang for "copy", "imitation" or "rip-off."The term has since acquired an additional and now more common meaning, since approximately the 1980s; this more modern definition was initially associated with crackers. This growing use of the term "hack" is to refer to a program that (sometimes illegally) modifies another program, often a computer game, giving the user access to features otherwise inaccessible to them. As an example of this use, for Palm OSusers (until the 4th iteration of this operating system), a "hack" refers to an extension of the operating system which provides additional functionality. The general media also uses this term to describe the act of illegally breaking into a computer, but this meaning is disputed.The term is additionally used by electronics hobbyists to refer to simple modifications to electronic hardware such as a graphing calculators,video game consoles, electronic musical keyboards or other device (see CueCat for a notorious example) to expose or add functionality to a device that was unintended for use by end users by the company who created it. A number of techno musicians have modified 1980s-era Casio SK-1 sampling keyboards to create unusual sounds by doing circuit bending: connecting wires to different leads of the integrated circuit chips. The results of these DIY experiments range from opening up previously inaccessible features that were part of the chip design to producing the strange, dis-harmonic digital tones that became part of the techno music style. Companies take different attitudes towards such practices, ranging from open acceptance (such as Texas Instruments for its graphing calculators and Lego for its Lego Mindstorms robotics gear) to outright hostility (such as Microsoft's attempts to lock out Xbox hackers or the DRM routines on Blu-ray Disc players designed to sabotage compromised players).
