SUBY · Dec 3, 2006

I know this has little to do with cameras but, I can't find the answer anywhere.

Recently got an e-mail from someone I haven't talked to in over 15 years. Within one of the lines was:

Wll shitzors.......... Asked the person to explain what this means and got a reply back that it is '133t' speak (great, another riddle). The only thing I can find on Google/Yahoo about 133t is that it is some form of 'leet', alternate language. So, any leet experts out there who can help out? Is the 'Wll' another mstery word OR is it just a typo?

I am having trouble contacting this person again so I thought I would take a stab here.

For anyone who has problems with this post, pls reread the subject heading and know you should'nt have clicked on it in the first place to complain.
So, can anyone help out?

Cheers Suby

"Wll" looks like a typo.

I think he's trying to say "Well sh*t".

leet speakers tend to add "ors" to the end of random words to butcher the language even more than they already do.
ex: "that sucksors"

True leet speak involves substituting numbers for letters (usually to avoid profanity filters).
ex: "w311 $hi7z0rs"

Good luck with that friend of yours.

this makes a bit more sense now. So, no alternate daVinci code to speak of.
Good luck with that friend of yours.

Thanks for the reply. 133t only referenced to a year in a biblical sense. There truly is not that much info available about this. Posting here was my last resort due to the volume of people here, perhaps one of them being a 'leet' speaker.

I have been what??????

Oh boy, this actually started of as a serious question and may turn into a free-for-all.
Anyone else care to join me in the twilight-zone?

Thanks jdoo. Is there a dictionary out there for this or was it quite obvious to you? If you can link me to a site that explains it as I really don't want to keep this Q at the top of the list for long.
Cheers Suby

In my case - it's the dictionary of having four teenage daughters. : ) Sorry - no help with translations here.

Thanks Joe,
what a handful. Guess this Q is another version of 21st century pig latin.
Let this thread die then before it gets out of hand.

133t

A commonly used word to mis-represent "elite."

vagabond235 · Dec 3, 2006

Well, doesnt really help in your case, but a 1337-translator can be found here: http://home.no.net/hellshl/main/translate.html

Some more information about 1337 in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

Should help you to find more information about it on the net...

regards

theatrus · Dec 3, 2006

UrbanDictionary.com can also help at times - though some words are butchered into 293920391 variants so it doesn't help at times

you got lots of good responses here...

shitzors...i take that to mean something like s* ting razors...rather a painful experience!

back in my day, to make the imagery more colorfull and more humours, we would often add something to "s*ting" like "bricks", "a cow", "a fork and spoon" (don't ask)...etc

SUBY · Dec 4, 2006

Was trying to avoid this response and have it waste any more space but felt I owed a thanks to those that answered this rather obscure question (yes, obviously with this thanks it has gone back up to the top). No more really needs to be added except that there seems to be soooo many different worlds of communication out there on the internet.

I can't believe I am still enquiering further about this. With a stick......? I still don't get the 'owned' bit. Care to explain? I am 1970 vintage.

There you go, have only used computers for the last 2 years. Was this the 'speak' used in your college years SNGX1327?

This is a school person I have not heard from since 17 years. Anything is possible.
