w00t!
According to Reuters, “w00t,” an expression of joy coined by online gamers, was crowned word of the year on Tuesday by the publisher of a leading U.S. dictionary.
Massachusetts-based Merriam-Webster Inc. said “w00t” — typically spelled with two zeros — reflects a new direction in the American language led by a generation raised on video games and cell phone text-messaging.
It’s like saying “yay,” the dictionary said.

W00t? Do you really mean W00t is a word now? W00t the hell is going on? W00t do you think about it? W00t are they thinking? W00t is this world turning into?
yes, it is a word in the U.S. Dictionary, not sure whether it is in the British Dictionary though. w00t means “yay”, not “what” as you depicted in your sentence. It is coined from MMO games like World of Warcraft, Gunbound, etc. and people usually say it when they win a game or a turn or something like that.
