    "w" is a vowel in Welsh. So clearly "pwn" would be pronounced "poon"

      I always assume it was pawn. But I've never heard it spoken so what do I know.

        Pwn is one of those nerdy internet words that really should not be spoken out loud
        To us, it is the BEAST.

          like lol.

          But yeah, like rah, I think of it as sort of like pawn, but with the aw sound shorter.

            I would say it more like pown, since I thought its origin was a typo of own.

              "Own". Just "own".
              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                  You're somewhat Serbian, you should be able to pronounce words without vowels.

                    You mean, if you are together with friends and someone tells a joke you don´t say lol or rotfl?

                    How will they know that you found their joke funny then?
