Talk:341: 1337: Part 1

The number 1337 should be read up side down, it means "leet" = elite. This is hacker code for the top guys. 11:43, 27 October 2012 (UTC)mb

Remember, kids, when you TXT-SPK "Cu l8r", that there's nothing new under the sun. But also that outside your clique you're going to look affected, at the very least. You might as well ROT13 instead, if you're so keen on obfuscation!</rot26_for_additional_security> 178.98.31.27 07:59, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
