a slang interjection used to express happiness, excitement or joy, most often expressed via the Internet.
The current use of w00t on the Internet traces its origins back to a popular culture reference from the early 1990s. In 1993 two popular songs with similar titles and themes both rose to the top 10 of Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 popularity chart for the year. "Whoot, there it is" and "Whoomp, there it is" by rap groups 95 South and Tag Team, respectively. In both the term was used in a phrase describing pleasure at sighting the posterior of a voluptuous woman (which followed in the footsteps of the previous summer's #3 smash hit "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot). The popularity of these songs and the phrase quickly spread to the internet in discussion of the songs and in similar discussion in alt.rap and rec.music.

It's just an expression of joy that stemmed from the online gaming community.
For example...
"We just took down the last boss, w00t!"

Actually it becoming a word outside the game.
For example....
If you look at the video, if Kim Jong iL tell you to woot then you woot.
