I was at work the other night with a guy who I generally have a lot of respect for. He's highly intelligent, and we see eye to eye on many thing. The other night though he fired up counter-strike and after a few rounds actually said,

"I'm getting pwnd." outloud

I was crushed. What should I do? Can I still be friends with someone like that?

    Quit being a fag who thinks that saying 'getting pwned' is important in any real way.

    My mom likes to say 'bling bling.'

    Things have 'bling bling' on them.

    I'm like, 'Look, Mom, if you insist on using stupid slang, at least say just one 'bling.' It sounds less silly.'

    This brings up the eternal debate:

    How do you pronounce "pwn3d?"

    Some argue that it rhymes with Owned.

    Others with actual intelligence, such as myself, pronounce it "Pooned." See references to the pronunciation of the letter W in Welsh Dialects cite.

    Additionally:

    I had to stop and assist a car accident the other night (a month or so ago) when a drunk chick rear-ended another car, jumped out and started getting aggro on her victim. In comes me and two others to break it up. When the cops showed up, they straight dog-piled her into the pavement. The word "Pwned" floated from my lips by accident, and a nearby EMT nodded, saying "totally."

    It's okay to say internet slang when on the internet.

    If he was playing poker and he said that then you freak out.

    When I worked at Gamestop I had to hear adolescents say it just about once a week. They always pronounced it "powned" (rhymes with "owned") and I guess it's not possible to say it without a valley accent.

    Grad school.

    Also, I attend one of the lowest-ranked law schools in the country, and have a chance to transfer to one of the highest-ranked. I'm actually torn. I shouldn't be, but I am. This decision is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be.

    Adulthood is super gay.

    "Pwunned?"
    "Powned?"

    you don't pronounce it at all

    because it isn't a word, it's a typo

    No one says it as "Powned" where I'm from. I'm pretty sure it's pawned.. but then again.. I'm pretty sure no one cares.. at all..

    Sometimes I like to make up words.. or use non existent words.. like "assy". Fantastic word.. pretty fucking hardcore to say "assy". "Mom! These pancakes are ASSY!!!" Yep.. pretty hardcore..

    I dunno.. I think it's not the words that are cool.. it's the people saying them. Diss.. is probably okay.. but then again.. I get pretty annoyed when rich white kids act like rappers.. so I'm actually just racist.

    i'm pretty sure it doesn't have a pronunciation at all because it isn't a word, it's an intentional typographic mistake used facetiously to represent the word 'owned' in a primarily text driven environment

    this is like arguing the pronunciation of gnfbtrerrlblrlrldsfhardoof
