I have just stumbled upon a strange slang. In fact, it's a dialect called Leet (vernacular from elite). Also known as hakspeak, leetspeak is a type of language where a user replaces letters for numbers or other characters.
" 7h3% w4n7 m3 70 90 70 m3P1(4# $(h00#, b57 1 w1## n07". My parents will read this on my computer or my mobile and will probably wonder what the hack is it's meaning and will probably blame a system error. 41n'7 7h47 (00#? %334h! (Ain't that cool? Yeeah!). Well, it's pretty simple. If you want to descifre this text you'ld better check the leet translator .

Nerdy star trekker is a term that i would use in different situations. It's more like a 90' hack mania slang. Bill gates is a nerdy star trekker though...and he is doing pretty well for now:).
