'Woot' is officially a thing, according to Oxford English Dictionary

I notice they list "origins uncertain".

If I recall correctly, it's an acronym for "We Owned the Other Team" and people started saying it back in the day to celebrate PvP victories.

(example: "The Zerg are victorious! WOOT!")

It then morphed into the equivalent of "we win!"

And these days, people use it for any type of celebratory exclamation.

Of course, I can't be sure that's the origin... but it's how I remember it.
