"Woo" and "Yay" are used extensively on B3ta to show approval of an image.Although interjections, they are occasionally used as adjectives – for example, one might see, "That picture is most woo, sir". Other variants exist, such as "Houpla", "W/Y/H" (Woo/Yay/Houpla), "Panowie" for fantastic images, with "Tip-Top" for the most exceptional images, with the highest possible form of praise being a combination of all five: Woo Yay Houpla Panowie Tip-Top.

In addition to verbal praise, many "woo yay pictures" are used, often shortened to "wooyay".This consists of an image, usually animated, photoshopped to include the words "woo" and "yay" in it. The term "Hi Cockalorum" is used to praise a wooyay picture, as an old board myth stated that to 'woo a woo' would bring about the apocalypse itself.

The ability to create an excellent picture is known as hummus: the "x-factor" which makes a picture or animation worthy of great praise.This consequently leads to responses such as, "the hummus is strong in this one", or that the person who has made said picture is "full of hummus". People who are lacking said ability may self-declare that they "can't fucking hummus", are "lacking hummus", or they have "bad hummus".

It should also be warned that regular board users look down on those who post "leet-speak", and in extreme cases can become very unfriendly and often sarcastic.The terms "Pfffft!" and "Arf!" are seen as far more board-worthy signs of praise than "roflmao" or "omg lol!!!!111!!11!!oneone!!!eleven!!".
