Let’s get mad like the gif days.
“Powned”, long o
Your description made me read it like “pooned” at first.
It is pronounced like pony; pown.
This isn’t even a debate. It’s canon. “Pooned” like poon is a comedic acceptable variant.
This clip from Brooklyn 99 uses what I consider to be the only two acceptable pronunciations. The first obviously the silly way, the second the proper.
Pown’d.
pohned is correct.
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.
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…
Pwned rhymes with boned.
It’s pronounced pwned, as all right thinking people know
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.
Correct. Written as pwned, pronounced “owned”
teh_pwnerer says so Source
Who pronounces pwned
NERDS!
I bet you pronounce gif wrong, too.
Poownd obviously
…pOWNed
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)
Yup, I also think of chess when I read it, so pawned - turned into a pawn, demoted to the weakest piece, etc. If I read owned, then it’s owned.
shocking content
Pineapple on pizza is correct vim is better than emacs debian is the best linux distro startrek is a bad show
being angry on the internet is one thing, you have to give evidence to support your argument
Poond
I say pwned, but I think pwned is also an acceptable pronunciation. But if you say it like pwned, you’re dead to me.
As owned with a “puh” on the front, but not as an extra syllable.
