How do you pronounce "Pwned"?

[Perfection]

Can you make a relevant argument?

I find that you should be among the last people to derride arrogance.

And really when I use it (playing Halo among friends it's little more than a bit of ribbing, which is fun and not damaging to personal relationships.

BTW I pronounce it "Powned"

 

[Yuri2356]

"Powned," or sometimes "P'Owned," separating the P from the rest of the word. However, I just say 'owned' when speaking, saving that pronunciation for when I'm reading the word.

But Perfection, Sidhe is so adult and intellectual and mature that he CAN be arrogant without resorting to your silly immature joke words.

 

[Sidhe]

Upset because you're always the pwnee rather than the pwner?

au contraire you miss the point it's about behaviour and good sportsmanship not idiotic banter. Whether I win or lose is beside the point, I act with some sort of decorum, not like a colossal arse. Perhaps you don't understand the concept?

Well I find you to be an over compensating arse with an inferiority complex, but hey let's not get personal.

The point I'm making is not about barracking and well felt after game banter, but the idiots who use it after they have won and been lauded,and then feel the need to destroy their opponents credability, you know morons.

Oh no, he said decorum. He must be the man now. Colossal arse is also a good one too.

We aren't all as intellectual and mature as you Sidhe ( ). Besides, acting with "decorum" (nice impressive intellectual mature word there too!) when you win is easy when you never win.

 

[The 777 Hoax]

Okay, yeah, methinks this thread is going down the toilet.

If anyone feels like going back on-topic rolleyes I've also heard it pronounced "puh-owned".

 

[CaptainF]

If I could step into the fray of this flame war, I will let you know that i pronounce it as:

*drum roll*

P-OH-NED.

 

[Aramazd]

I pronounce it "powned"

 

[Sidhe]

Oh well since the point has gone down the toilet, so has the response, yes I win and win regularly , but I don't act like an arse when I do.

 

[I am the Future]

I must say that I am another "pawned" speaker.

Don't be so snotty Sidhe.

The point is that you can try and act like mr. mature condescending, but we just won't buy it. How are you, with your little "can you understand that?" and other such crap being any better than somebody who says "pwn"?

I know you get your kicks from trying to look mature and intellectual (deep quote in the sig... check, "artsy" avatar..check, foreign sounding title...check), but not everybody is so self-absorbed and pretentious.





pwned.

 

[Sidhe]

If advocating good sportsmanship is snotty then guilty as charged. Can think of worse insults leveled my way.
