Let’s get mad like the gif days.
“Powned”, long o
It is pronounced like pony; pown.
This isn’t even a debate. It’s canon. “Pooned” like poon is a comedic acceptable variant.
Pown’d.
pohned is correct.
It’s pronounced pwned, as all right thinking people know
Pwned rhymes with boned.
Poownd obviously
As owned with a “puh” on the front, but not as an extra syllable.
- I’m Gerald of Nivea. Up for a game of Pwent?
Who pronounces pwned
NERDS!
I say pwned, but I think pwned is also an acceptable pronunciation. But if you say it like pwned, you’re dead to me.
Player-Owned
P-Owned
Powned
Just for the benefit of anyone who doesn’t know, this is not the actual etymology.
It just started as a misspelling of “owned” (with p and o being next to each other on the keyboard).
Huh, I legit thought thought thats how we got it. Never been important enough to look into it.
That’s true, but I would argue that the player owned definition of it came so quickly on the heels of the typo that both could count as valid, with the caveat that the first usage being a typo would have to be considered a mistake, rather than the coining of the slang term itself.
Which is stretching things a bit, but still fun to think about.
I say “pownt”.
P-you-nd - cus it’s fun to say
Wait, it’s not pronounced pffned?
