I guess I'm getting old or something but can someone explain to me what some of the words or expressions I have seen in the forums mean ?

I keep seeing "Woot" and "Uber" used by some people.

What the heck do these words mean ?

Woot is just an expression of excitement or joy,  Uber however is an adjecitve that descirbes something, so saying something is Uber cool means that it is extremely cool.

w00t is considered a cheer, as that is the point of it. But that is where w00t originated from and what it truly is.
