how do you pronounce \"PWNED?\"
 

figured you guys would know...

last night's TOC on ESPN had Daniel N. saying to Mike the Mouth, "You just got pwned."

He pronounced it with a long "o," however...like the word it is derived from, "owned." I've always pronounced it like the chess piece: "pawned." Have I been wrong all this time?

How do YOU pronounce it?

This is how it should be pronounced and Daniel Negreanu is absolutely correct.

long o, although it is very fun to say "pooned" also, or when it is spelled pwnt, pronounced it "poonted".

Re: how do you pronounce \"PWNED?\"
 

definitely with the "o" since it originated from some 13 year old playing Counter Strike and mistyping it all the time, accidentally hitten the p instead of the o.
