Let’s get mad like the gif days.
Who pronounces pwned
like the chess piece with eight on each side. The one that can be promoted to any other non-king piece once it gets to the other side. pwned is getting your data leaked, being “pawned” means getting taken advantage of/being puppeted by a higher power, and I always linked that to being scammed through a phishing attack (and usually your data has been leaked, you have been pwned)
being angry on the internet is one thing, you have to give evidence to support your argument
It’s pronounced pwned, as all right thinking people know
Pow ( like bow wow) + Ned (like Ned Stark)
pohned is correct.
Owned with a P sound in front.
Powned.
It’s one of the first internet slang words I ever heard spoken over voice chat and it was always pronounced this way.
I have heard people mispronounce it various other ways on purpose, ironically, as mockery, but I agree that depends on people knowing there’s a correct pronunciation in the first place, which there is, as you’ve accurately described.
That’s not a word I say out loud.
“Powned”, long o
Your description made me read it like “pooned” at first.
Yes
It’s just “Owned” with a “P” at the beginning. P-Owned.
Same way you pronounce “Boned”.That’s what she said
On pure pwnage they pronounced it ‘owned’
Yeah, that’s how we’d say it when actually gaming. “Total ownage” man was that fun to yell at your friends while the four of you clustered around a CRT playing Halo on a 4-way split screen and one controller was always the garbage one and mountain dew affected you like cocaine…
Considering that it began as a typo of owned, this shouldn’t be hard to figure out.
Excuse me, this is the internet. There is nothing that can’t be made into extreme controversy.
Poned, but occasionally pew-ned for reasons
Pwned rhymes with boned.
Pronounced “owned.” 1337 speak is cringe but thems the rules.
I agree, although looks like you and I stand pretty much alone in this among all these “hack-zors” lol
It’s okay they’ve been wrong for decades, must sting.
Yup.
- I’m Gerald of Nivea. Up for a game of Pwent?
As it’s written. Pwned. No need to stick an extra “o” or “a” or any other vowel in between.
It says “pwned”, so “pwned” it is.
Which brings us back to where we started:
How exactly do you pronounce pwned?
Like pwnd, which is something like pünd or /pʊnd/
Pee-double-you-NED!
I sometimes see people saying “pronounce it like it’s the name of a Greek philosopher” or “pronounce it as if it was Spanish”.
There’s a “p”, a “w”, an “n”, an “e” and a “d”. Say those in a row. “As if it was Spanish”, to make sure that e is really e and not i.
pwnedcles
PuWoNed?
Drop the u and o away from between and you’ve got it :)
This guy!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Like tomato.
you gotta remember most people on here are not estonian so you gotta make it easy for the folks who need to insert extra letters just to not do a diphthong
