Tweets
Looking for tweets for pwn.
coldspire I say this as "pween" or "pweened," which forks the original word's inexplicable pronunciation for the second (or third?) time!
Further antagonizing of comrades is accomplished via the use of "pweenage."
Woot. Apr 9, 2008
yarb It's got to be pronounced "poon"! I think the thing is, this is a word which ought not to be pronounced at all. It's a word which openly rejects vocalisation! Apr 8, 2008
pterodactyl When I first saw the word "pwn", I thought it was derived from Welsh, like "cwm" or "crwth". I went around for over a year hearing it my head as "poon".
Then one day I attempted to use the word in conversation. It was a bewildering moment; all of a sudden, everyone was chortling and making references to Tang. Apr 8, 2008
chained_bear Great. All this talk of "pwned" is making me hungry for hush puppies. Oct 27, 2007
uselessness Sounds like you got pwned by pronunciation. Oct 27, 2007
chained_bear I know, U, but it makes me sad. *weeps* Oct 27, 2007
uselessness Yes, it's definitely pronounced like "poned," and in an ironic, knowing manner. Oct 27, 2007
seanahan The only people I know who actually say "powned" are cognizant of its origin, but find it funny to pronounce the p. Oct 27, 2007
chained_bear I thought the standard was "owned," but I guess most people don't know that and say "powned," so... *is sad about this* Oct 27, 2007
skipvia Interesting that this word exists mostly in written form, without a standard pronunciation. Oct 27, 2007

sionnach The slang term pwn, used primarily in the Internet gaming culture, means to soundly defeat an opponent. It is sometimes used for taunting of an in-game enemy, and rubbing in victories. The etymology of the term pwn is believed to be rooted in a typographical error arising from the proximity of the 'p' key to the 'o' key on a standard English keyboard.
Pronounced sometimes as 'own', sometimes as 'pone'.
