"n00b," "noob," "newbie," or "newb": Combinations synonymous with new user. Some leetspeekers view "n00b" as an insult and "newbie" as an affectionate term for new users

L337's not incredibly hard to understand.

Everything can mean a specific letter. % can mean Y. You just gotta keep your mind open and read everything instead of the specific letters.

"The suffix "0rz" is often appended to words for emphasis or to make them plural. For example, "h4xx0rz," "sk1llz0rz," and "pwnz0rz," are plural or emphasized versions (or both) of hacks, skills, and owns."
