Is this not the geek thing any more?

I've mentioned it in a "hah, look at the time" type way to a few people who I would have thought were geeky enough (spent a good 5-10 minutes talking to one guy about smartphone operating systems etc) - and I get a completely blank look...

...I mutter something about leetness to which they're like "leet? eh?"

...I'm such a nerd

I always seem to look at the clock when it's leet o clock 13.37 which is just dumb. I always look at the clock at socket 9.39 o clock too

I'd say it's still geeky but when you use it it tends to come off as being more ironic than anything else.

To be honest, you have to be into the whole internet (mainly gaming) scene to know what it means and where it comes from

13:37 is understandable, 9:39 is just dire, I'm afraid to say. Not even I'm that bad.

Oh well, at least it's not 7:54
