About the word "pwned"...

[Skeebz]

Anyone heard of this new 1337 speak?
Its called english.
and it pawns.

Also, why do some people assume Counter-Strike is the beginning of nearly every new word out there. (counter-strike invented counter-strike... huh?)
There are these things called keyboards, yes? People accidently type things on them, p and o o and p Its quite hard to hit the right one at high speed. Thus 'pwned'

Not "power owned"
not "pre owned"
not "pawned owned"
and not "pleaselockthisthread owned"

Catching the drift?

How did it go from asking how the word pwn was said, if it was said out loud, to where it origanated? And why the hell do you guys fight over it?

.... I need a sig ...

[Dave_0991]

owned with a p in front of the o... o_O

[Nima]

I always said it as Powned. Everyone I know says it as powned.

I agree.

[QreepyBORIS]

In french...it's "Pffnt". Sorta.

[FFVIIMAN]

From my experience, only dumbfucks say it.

[MalReynolds]

H is for when I say "Go to Hell."
A is for when I call you an asshole.
T is for you being a whiney little toddler.
E is for you being an errigoneous prick.

You know there is no point in saying pwned (pronounced powned) anyway, it came into existence by accident instead of owned he accidenally wrote pwned so why does it matter at all?

[MalReynolds]

... Dude, we already knew the origins of the word. Thanks for being obvious. Try and read the entire thread before you post, it makes it so I don't hate you.

Hate is such an pgly word, but pwned isnt. I say pwned cuz owned is too mundane and pwned doesnt seem that way.

[QreepyBORIS]

Wait...why are we arguing about the origins of a made up word?

This is kinda funny, heh.

[MalReynolds]

Draco... Your sig made me giggle. Like a little girl, and this is odd, because I am a dude.
