Let’s get mad like the gif days.
Pow ( like bow wow) + Ned (like Ned Stark)
Pronounced “owned.” 1337 speak is cringe but thems the rules.
Correct. Written as pwned, pronounced “owned”
teh_pwnerer says so Source
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.

Pwned rhymes with boned.
pwand or p-wand (pee wand)
That’s not a word I say out loud.
pohned is correct.
Pwooned
Poowned
The “G” in “gif” is the same as the “G” in “garage”
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
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.
Oh yeah I didn’t even consider “gare - adge” vs “gar - ahj” or however the heck you would try and spell the difference in the way it’s pronounced. Every time I think about it, I’m so grateful that I don’t have to try and learn English as an adult…
jaragge
Jarrajee
Sounds fancy, I only have a car-hole. :(
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
As owned with a “puh” on the front, but not as an extra syllable.

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.
I say pwned, but I think pwned is also an acceptable pronunciation. But if you say it like pwned, you’re dead to me.
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…
