Not just a random cartoon, but a cult phenomenon of Little Gamers. Little Gamers webcomic helped immensely in popularizing the use of leet speak.
Leet speak, also known as leetspeak (sans space), is an alphabet used primarily on the Internet. It uses various combinations of ASCII characters to replace "Latinateelite", and the usage it describes is a specialized form of symbolic writing. Leet may also be considered a substitution cipher, though many dialects exist in different online communities.
The term leet is also used as an adjective to describe formidable prowess or accomplishment, especially in the fields of online gaming or in its original usage, computer hacking.
Bottom line, if you understood any of this, you need to get out more.
