Trying a leet to human dictionary: Help!

[chris99]

The dictionary currently has a few definitions in it, but it keeps only returning the definition for "noob". Anything that's entered returns that index. Why? Here's the code:

#1337 to Human dictionary:
leet={"1337":"l-EET/nReally Awesome","noob":"(n00b) nOOb/nPerson who can't accept that s/he's wrong",
      "-xxors":"Suffix, pron: zors.\nUsed to accent an important verb, e.g. roxxors",
      "newb":"new-b,\nPerson who is new to a game and needs help. Not to be\nconfused with noob"}
word=1
while word != "" or "0":
    word = raw_input("Input a word to define: ")
    if word == "noob" or "n00b" or "nOOb":
        print leet['noob']
    elif word == "leet" or "elite" or "1337" or "l33t":
        print leet['1337']
    elif word == "xxors" or "roxxors" or "boxxors" or "-xxors":
        print leet['-xxors']
    elif word == "newb" or "newbie":
        print leet['newb']

Even when word=0 or "". What's going on?

Your or statements weren't written correctly. In this case it's simpler to see if the word is in a tuple (or list) of choices:

#1337 to Human dictionary:
    
leet = {
"1337": "l-EET/nReally Awesome",
"noob": "(n00b) nOOb/nPerson who can't accept that s/he's wrong",
"-xxors": "Suffix, pron: zors.\nUsed to accent an important verb, e.g. roxxors",
"newb": "new-b,\nPerson who is new to a game and needs help. Not to be\nconfused with noob"
}
    
word = 1
while word not in ("", "0"):
    word = raw_input("Input a word to define: ")
    # correct use of or ...
    if word == "noob" or word == "n00b" or word == "nOOb":
        print leet['noob']
    # simpler, is word in a tuple (or list) ...
    elif word in ("leet", "elite", "1337", "l33t"):
        print leet['1337']
    elif word in ("xxors", "roxxors", "boxxors", "-xxors"):
        print leet['-xxors']
    elif word in ("newb", "newbie"):
        print leet['newb']

Fixed it! Here's the new code:

#1337 to Human dictionary:
leet={"1337":"l-EET/nReally Awesome","noob":"(n00b) nOOb\nPerson who can't accept that s/he's wrong",
      "-xxors":"Suffix, pron: zors.\nUsed to accent an important verb, e.g. roxxors",
      "newb":"new-b,\nPerson who is new to a game and needs help. Not to be\nconfused with noob"}
word=1
while word not in ("","0"):
    word = raw_input("Input a word to define: ")
    if word in ("noob","n00b","nOOb"):
        print leet['noob']
    elif word in ("leet","elite","1337","l33t"):
        print leet['1337']
    elif word in ("xxors","roxxors","boxxors","-xxors"):
        print leet['-xxors']
    elif word in ("newb","newbie"):
        print leet['newb']
print "Thankyou for using the dictionary"
stop = raw_input("Press any key to quit")

I'm quite proud of it!

Fixed it! Here's the new code:

long time ago, i did a leet of my own, just for fun..no fine tuning/optimization or whatsoever..
