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, "]".

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 or eleet, originated in the early days of the internet among hackers and gamers as a way to obscure messages from non-elite users and to demonstrate technical prowess. It involves replacing letters with visually similar characters or numbers, such as "leet" for "elite" or "4" for "A". Over time, 1337 speak has evolved and become a form of internet slang used in online communities and gaming culture.


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.
