Gaming Terminology

[DrSpike]

It is a little known fact, but in conversation FG Development King Jamski pronounces pwned as pawned, not owned.

Discuss. Preferably with reference to other gaming terminology.

[Asher]

It's "powned".

[Kuciwalker]

Jamski is powned.

[Jamski]

DrSpike is not taking account of the fact that I pronounce the word "dome" (as in St Peter's) as "doorme" because I am so well educated in English

I pronouce "brb" (be right back) as "brurrb". I have also said "for SCIENCE" in a real life conversation. I have practised saying it so you can hear the capitalisation.

/me trys to think of more gaming terminology to kee p from spamming too hard*

I've never understood what it reallystands for(well, I do of course understand the meaning), but I've always pronounced it powned.

[Odin]

It's "powned".

[ZargonX]

See, I always say it "pwowned," which just has such a nice ring to it

[General Ludd]

I almost said lol once, a long time ago.

[DrSpike]

It so clearly should be pronounced the same as owned. You all lose.

I prefer powned to pawned though. Never thought I'd write that post.

Its so Leet imho iirc.........

i not only pronounce it as pawned, I spell it as pawned. Anything else, and the leet speakers (not to be confused with JVC speakers, or my dear departed Magnaplanars) have won. And the end of civilization (not to say civilisation) is near.

And if you own something, you can pawn it, right?

[Snotty]

Poned! what a dumb sounding word, only worth uttering if you are taking the piss out of it

[Dis]

powned. how much more obvious can it be?

/me pawns LotM.

For 3 and half pence.

And pwns him in this process (although I guess you could argue he needed to be owned in the first place ).
