I don't recall where I saw it, but there was "dictionary" somewhere for this stuff. Probably should be stickied....

I know the question has already been answered, but I work for an enormous multinational telecommunications conglomerate that you all know and love. Any time we are installing a special service circuit for voice or data, one step in the process is called WOT. "Wired On Test." Simply means they hooked up all the wires & tested for basic continuity.

So I always think of work when I see references to WOT.

Hey Moderators, HERE'S WHERE A FAQ WOULD BE USEFUL!!!!

Everyone pisses and moans when a noob poses an oft-asked question ... "do a search". If there was an easy-tp-find FAQ, there would be far less pissing and moaning here (Oh, the horror!).

It's the sound your car makes when you floor it:
"WOOOOOOOT!"



It's also the sound you hear on the rev limiter:
"wot-wot-wot-wot-wot-wot"

How was that arrogant? That comment was intended to be facetious, because most everyone hates their telephone/internet/CATV company, and I decided not to name the company so as not to appear to be plugging/advertising their services.
