Let’s get mad like the gif days.
“Powned”, long o
Yes
It’s just “Owned” with a “P” at the beginning. P-Owned.
Same way you pronounce “Boned”.That’s what she said
Your description made me read it like “pooned” at first.
Removed by mod
Considering that it began as a typo of owned, this shouldn’t be hard to figure out.
Excuse me, this is the internet. There is nothing that can’t be made into extreme controversy.
Pwned rhymes with boned.
Pronounced “owned.” 1337 speak is cringe but thems the rules.
I agree, although looks like you and I stand pretty much alone in this among all these “hack-zors” lol
It’s okay they’ve been wrong for decades, must sting.
Yup.
Correct. Written as pwned, pronounced “owned”
teh_pwnerer says so Source
As it’s written. Pwned. No need to stick an extra “o” or “a” or any other vowel in between.
It says “pwned”, so “pwned” it is.
Which brings us back to where we started:
How exactly do you pronounce pwned?
Pee-double-you-NED!
I sometimes see people saying “pronounce it like it’s the name of a Greek philosopher” or “pronounce it as if it was Spanish”.
There’s a “p”, a “w”, an “n”, an “e” and a “d”. Say those in a row. “As if it was Spanish”, to make sure that e is really e and not i.
pwnedcles
PuWoNed?
Drop the u and o away from between and you’ve got it :)
This guy!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Like tomato.
you gotta remember most people on here are not estonian so you gotta make it easy for the folks who need to insert extra letters just to not do a diphthong
On pure pwnage they pronounced it ‘owned’
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…
It’s pronounced pwned, as all right thinking people know
Who pronounces pwned
NERDS!
I bet you pronounce gif wrong, too.
That’s not a word I say out loud.
Poownd obviously
Poned, but occasionally pew-ned for reasons
…pOWNed
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)
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.

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
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”
I’m def saying “pooned” from now on. I’m going to tell people it originated from Moby Dick and is short for “harpooned” 🤣🤣 Get 'Pooned ye Noob Whale!
