vvganeshavv 4 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I was watching the Tournament of Champions last night for the first time last night.

khabbi 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 DN stands up and is like wow oooohhhhh u just got PWNED.I thought it was cool and laughed, did anyone else catch that?Did he say it like "owned" or like "powned" or like "pawned"?Cause if it was either of the latter two options that is not cool, those "words" should never be spoken.

Dogpatch 2 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 The "p" is silent. It's pronounced the same as owned. Link to post Share on other sites
DrawingDeadInDM 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 The "p" is silent. It's pronounced the same as owned.I disagree..I hear it in my head as like, 'Phoned', but with the 'p' sound instead of the 'f' sound. Link to post Share on other sites
vvganeshavv 4 Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 I disagree..I hear it in my head as like, 'Phoned', but with the 'p' sound instead of the 'f' sound.that's exactly how i read it... Link to post Share on other sites
Dogpatch 2 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I disagree..I hear it in my head as like, 'Phoned', but with the 'p' sound instead of the 'f' sound. Oh certainly, when I read it... in my head I say "poned". Ryhmes with phoned. Absolutley. But when said "IRL", I think owned is a better way to say it cause poned sounds teh ghey. It can only be said in jest. If somebody seriously said "pwned", I'd have to laugh. I think I'm gonna start saying "mobney" though. Link to post Share on other sites
DunkinDonuts 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 The "p" is silent. It's pronounced the same as owned.My concern is that this pronunciation doesn't enable the speaker to flaunt his awareness of the subset of culture that spawned the phenomenon. If someone verbally pronounces that you were "owned," it's quite possible that he is simply parroting other people who have said it aloud, and he may be completely clueless as to the correct spelling and derivation of the word.It's kind of like in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, when he has to spell out the name of God by stepping on a giant Scrabble board of death, and he has a "doh" moment when he realizes "Jehovah" starts with an "I" in the Latin alphabet.The point is, any schmuck could spell Jehovah the American way, but only Indy and his dying father were privy to the cooler, more historically significant spelling.I see three alternatives:1) We pronounce it "Pyowned" or "Poo-Wind" to signify our understanding that the only thing that makes the phrase "Owned" trendy is its counterintuitive spelling; or2) We pronounce it "Owned," but add, "with a P." This approach minimizes the awkwardness of pronouncing a phonetically unmanageable word, but acknowledges the distinction between "Owned" and "Pwned"; or3) We pronounce it "Owned," and anyone aware that it's spelled with a P can give the speaker a knowing nod to signal membership in the exclusive club.I vote for "Owned with a P."
