L33t or L33tspeak (often written in Leet as L337 or L337 5p34k) is a writing system used primarily on the Internet, particularly on IRC but nowadays also in most online video games. The term itself is a leet-form of the word elite, and generally has the same meaning when referring to the hacking or the gaming skills of another person.
Leet began as a form of text obfuscation to dodge filters on Usenet.
Leet involves the modification of written text, both by substitution of some letters, numbers, and other characters for the usual ones, and by use of characteristic variations in grammar, spelling and idiom. These perturbations are chosen, and interpreted, through visual resemblances, abstract connections (usually involving knowledge about computers), or known conventions. Leet spelling are generally not fixed, and users often take pride in developing new ones whose interpretation requires cleverness or appropriate background knowledge.
Leet has its own colloquialisms, many of which originated as jokes based on common typing errors, habits of new computer-users, or knowledge of internet culture and history. One such colloqiallism is "Pie," which can be a substitute for any word or simply said in IRCs for randomness.
Leet is not solely based upon one language or character set. Greek, Russian, Chinese, and other languages have Leet forms, and leet in one language may use characters from another where they are available. As such, while it may be referred to as a "cipher," a "dialect," or a "language," Leet does not fit squarely into any of these categories. This article primarily concerns the English language variant of Leet.
For example, the term leet itself is often written l33t, or 1337, and many other variations. After the meaning of these became widely familiar, 10100111001 came to be used in its place, because it is the binary representation of the decimal number 1337, making it more of a puzzle to interpret.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-0>[1]</SUP>
