    l337 is a term that means Elite, elite in a hacker community is someone who is cool, superb, but these days the slang lingo is used my peeps who think they are cool using those old terms.. sadly they are not.

    thanx, i kept seeing it and was confused. I can usually figure out slang, abrieviations or Internet speak by the context if I see it a couple of times but this one had me stumped. I run across it in the BF2 forums alot.

    There was a web site posted here a year or so ago that automatically translated a sentance into "1337" - can't find it now though. What you need is a "1337" to english translator.
