> Oh, and WAT is [short for] "Weird/will Ass Thing"?

No, it's not an abbreviation for anything – it's the word "what", but 
pronounced in a way that
indicates the speaker is surprised/confused. More specifically, it's a 
reference to the WAT talk (a
really good one, even if it is about a different language)

(All of that is pretty much strait from the glossary, by the way)
