  Poowned

• JackbyDev@programming.dev ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  As owned with a “puh” on the front, but not as an extra syllable.

  source
• irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Pwooned

  source
• Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  “pfned”

  source
• lunar17@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I say pwned, but I think pwned is also an acceptable pronunciation. But if you say it like pwned, you’re dead to me.

  source
• Rhoeri@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I don’t pronounce it.

  source
• Alenalda@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Like this pure pwnage

  • Ricaz@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Shameful to not link the original series, but I fully agree, it’s definitely pronounced “ownage”, and anyone who says otherwise is a massive noob

  P-you-nd - cus it’s fun to say

  source
• Mangoguana@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Poownd obviously

  source
• Gobbel2000@programming.dev ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Wait, it’s not pronounced pffned?

  source
• capuccino@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  pawned, as “pawn” from “pawn shop”, and “ned” same as the name

  source
• jerkface@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I say “pownt”.

  source
• foggy@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  It is pronounced like pony; pown.

  This isn’t even a debate. It’s canon.

  • Artaca@lemdro.id ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    This clip from Brooklyn 99 uses what I consider to be the only two acceptable pronunciations.

    source
  • RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Pown’d.

    source
• ar99644@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I pronounce it “Pee-owned”. It adds even more insult to the injury I think.

  Who pronounces pwned

  • laranis@lemmy.zip ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I bet you pronounce gif wrong, too.

    NERDS!

    source
• faintwhenfree@lemmus.org ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Pow ( like bow wow) + Ned (like Ned Stark)

  source
• sbeak@sopuli.xyz ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  like the chess piece with eight on each side. The one that can be promoted to any other non-king piece once it gets to the other side. pwned is getting your data leaked, being “pawned” means getting taken advantage of/being puppeted by a higher power, and I always linked that to being scammed through a phishing attack (and usually your data has been leaked, you have been pwned)

  • adhd_traco@piefed.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yup, I also think of chess when I read it, so pawned - turned into a pawn, demoted to the weakest piece, etc.
    If I read owned, then it’s owned.

    shocking content

    Pineapple on pizza is correct
    vim is better than emacs
    debian is the best linux distro
    startrek is a bad show

    being angry on the internet is one thing, you have to give evidence to support your argument

    source
• southsamurai@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  It’s pronounced pwned, as all right thinking people know

  source
• humanspiral@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  pohned is correct.

  source
• Nemo@slrpnk.net ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  That’s not a word I say out loud.

  source
• l3enc@piefed.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  pwand or p-wand (pee wand)

  source
• ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Poned, but occasionally pew-ned for reasons

  source
• kandoh@reddthat.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  On pure pwnage they pronounced it ‘owned’

  source

  • khepri@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yeah, that’s how we’d say it when actually gaming. “Total ownage” man was that fun to yell at your friends while the four of you clustered around a CRT playing Halo on a 4-way split screen and one controller was always the garbage one and mountain dew affected you like cocaine…

• BurgerBaron@piefed.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Pronounced “owned.” 1337 speak is cringe but thems the rules.

  source

  • Ricaz@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Correct. Written as pwned, pronounced “owned”

    Source

    source
  • CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yup.

    source
  • khepri@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I agree, although looks like you and I stand alone in this lol

    source

    • BurgerBaron@piefed.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s okay they’ve been wrong for decades, must sting.

      source
• dhhyfddehhfyy4673@fedia.io ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Considering that it began as a typo of owned, this shouldn't be hard to figure out.

  source

  • actionjbone@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Excuse me, this is the internet. There is nothing that can’t be made into extreme controversy.

    source
• i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  After not knowing for ages, I recently discovered it was pronounced pooned. The W is pronounced the same as in Welsh.*

  • The Welsh language, not the word “Welsh”

    pwelshned

  • khepri@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
