1337. Originally used by hackers to avoid simple net searches that would turn up, for example, "I am an elite hacker".
Instead hackers would say "1 4|/| 4|| 31337 |-|4x0|2".
"31337" was later shortened to "1337".
Now 1337 used mainly by the gaming community (also in chatrooms) to mean an especially skilled player.
