Teh

What does teh mean?

The

"teh"is l33t slang for "the" that is actually misspelled intentionally. L33t, or Leetspeak is a language often used online where a person replaces English letters in words with similar-looking characters and numbers.

While you will now primarily encounter leetspeak online, the language dates back to the 1980s. Savvy bulletin board systems (BBS) users formulated it to bypass BBS filters that prohibited the use of certain words.

Today, computer users, like h4x0rz or gamers, commonly use the language in web forums, gaming matches, and online messages. They often use it as subtle flex of their high tech IQ and make fun of n00bs. Some popular l33t terms include "w00t," and "pwn3d" (or "pwnd") terms.

Example

if u want 2b kewl, use teh l33tsp33k
