  • Gaming Terminology

    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.

    It's "powned".

        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.

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

                  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.

                        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?

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