How is one supposed to pronounce 'pwned' or 'pwnd'?

My friend says it should be said like poond, however I have always thought of it as pawned, like a pawn in chess or whatever..

Or is it just pee doubleyou en ee dee. I don;t think so, but anyway..

So how do you pronounce 'pwned'?

Your not supposed to say it IRL, that makes you a bigger loser than you already are.


Last night as you slept, I touched your face and you smiled!...
but now you frown. A pity. Smiling is healthier.

I say it like 'poned'. Rhymes with owned. Basically, owned with a 'p' at the beginning.

It is not a real word, as such there is no correct way to spell it.

This is like when them 13 year old faggots run around screaming:

"LAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWL!"

It's not made for the real life, It's bad enough online fuck when kids who have drunk to many slush puppies and eaten to many skittles are screaming it in the Q at McDonalds.

Pwned is pronounced, "Owned." Don't tell me its not, because the lingo started with saying Owned, and then pwned became because of a spelling error. People went with it, but still said, "Owned," when pronouncing it. Then, most of NG's users were born. And now, today is as bad as ever.

You're supposed to say Owned. Pwned in just a misspelling of owned, because the o is next to the p in the keyboard.

I pronounce it "pawned," even though I know a few people say it, "pooned." The fact of the matter is that, "pooned" sounds dirty to me.

You don't. The word is strictly for interwebs use. Using it in real life makes you an instant nerd, geek, loser, take your pick.

No offence to anyone who pronounces it differently, but unless you pronounce it 'Owned' you all fail.

'Pwned' is 1337 speak for 'owned' because it was commonly misspelt as 'pwned' because the 'P' is right next to the 'O' on QWERTY keyboards.

Therefor it should be pronounced 'Owned' and if you dont say it that way you are just not '1337'.
