"Initially, the word

adjective, to primarily describe the behavior or accomplishments of others in the community. In that usage Leet generally carries the same meaning when referring to either the
game prowess or, in original usage,
hacking expertise of another person. "
Leet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basically in layman terms it means elite. Though it's pronounced as 'leet.' I didn't understand it the first time I heard it either. The 1337 comes from a code where numbers are associated with letters.
Also for those that don't know this thread is a combination of preventing someone from starting a seriously leading Colt thread (like 'Colt isn't that good' or 'Colt should start') as well as a sort of inside joke inspired by the "Todd Collins is 1337 thread." If you guys noticed I copied the thread pretty much word for word with the exception of replacing Todd Collins name with Colt Brennans.
