l337 means Elite, as spoken in english.

l= El
33 (ee)
7 = T


The choice of this characters is because they visualy have some resamblance to
their spoken counterpart.

Similar words are ur 4 l337. The 4 is an A and the ur = You are.

If you google there is even an l337 speak translater. Quite funny that thing.
Just look for "l337 speak" (and probably translate).
