Let’s get mad like the gif days.
Owned with a P sound in front.
Powned.
It’s one of the first internet slang words I ever heard spoken over voice chat and it was always pronounced this way.
I have heard people mispronounce it various other ways on purpose, ironically, as mockery, but I agree that depends on people knowing there’s a correct pronunciation in the first place, which there is, as you’ve accurately described.
“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.
It is pronounced like pony; pown.
This isn’t even a debate. It’s canon.
Pown’d.
pohned is correct.
Pwned rhymes with boned.
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.
It’s pronounced pwned, as all right thinking people know
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…
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.
That’s not a word I say out loud.
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.
Like pwnd, which is something like pünd or /pʊnd/
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
Poned, but occasionally pew-ned for reasons
…pOWNed
Who pronounces pwned
NERDS!
The “G” in “gif” is the same as the “G” in “garage”
It’s also the same “G” in George…
Also the G in garbage.
Also the G in gyro.
oh don’t you dare start that shit we’ll be here all day
hif lol
What a mess of a word now that I look at it. Two Gs pronounced differently, an “E” at the end that does not effect the second “A” (as in Rag vs. Rage). Like imagine trying to pronounce that word if you’ve never seen it, or spell it if you’d only heard it
This is why I prefer “car hole”
I prefer car hole too, but don’t tell me wife.
I mean as long as you knew the word age you’d probably pronounce it in a more stilted way, but similar to british people. Gare - age. American english is just weird because Gare becomes Gurr and age becomes odge.
jaragge
Sounds fancy, I only have a car-hole. :(
Jarrajee
I was about to say that garage doesn’t have the wrong “g” for GIF, but then I realized that some people might be ending “Garage” with an actual “j” sound
