it is old internet lingo.

So pro G4m3rs would do this thing where they would replace letters with numbers in some attempt to show their 3lit3 G4m3r Sk177z.

The pinacle of it was 1337, or LEET, which was a shortened form of elite, as in elite gamer.

because it was the most prevalent word used this way of typing out chat became known as 1337 speech.
