1337... the last four digits of my cell phone number
Thursday, February 6, 2003 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
My boyfriend and I had went to get a new phone during January, and the sales person asked us if we have any specific preference for the last four digits..
my boyfriend went ahead and said "1337"... so now I have 1337 as my last four digits. Makes me feel a bit odd everytime I recite it to people

Just curious. does 1337 mean something that I don't know? Like there are codes for I love you, I hate you, etc.
I loved this one coming up on my pager all the time 666

how does 7 equal T?
Clearly the 7 is a upside down L.
So in the end of this debate of words, I feel that the time is short and the hour draws near. It is close to midnight; are you with me or become irrelivent?
LEEI!!!

7 is T.... I've been told for a long long time that 7 is a T....
hence why a lot of people use the expression 1337. I've written T using the number 7 numerous times whenever taking notes.

Please explain a little more. I'm curious. Is it like a inside joke for programmers or something? Something very old?
Weaksid very lost even after looking up the word leet

I don't know where it orginated from, but it's a very commonly used word while I was hanging out in #skinnerz on irc, some of whom I still interact with here on the board.
Leet, I'm assuming, is a word associated with geeks... a different version of being "cool." So when someone calls someone else "leet"... I am assuming it is the geek word for "cool."
leet also sounds like the end part of elite, written in l33t/1337 language

7 is T? 7 is an upside down L. How can we live in a world that allows such thought that 7 is T.
UNLESS.... you mean the 7 with a line through the center of it. Then 7 would be t.
So it is LEEt.
Nevertheless, I motion that we take this to the league of elders. Seeing 7 as T is a great error and can not be allowed to exist.
Long live LEEt!

Elfkura raises an eyebrow.
Well, apparently a lot of people think 7 is and upside-down L... and a lot of people think 7 is T... whichever way, there'll never be a real answer.
I don't believe in having to turn a number upside down to justify its letter. Mirroring it isn't such a large problem though. 1 = I/L, 3=E, 4=A, 5=S, 7=T, 0=O

I think most of the time it is L 
. Rarely is the 1=I used... so just assume it's L
