Mainstream 1337

It's quite weird. The people that I hang out with are hardly nerds. They had D&D, never play video games, and couldn't find their way around the internet even if they tried. So, it's pretty fucking weird that a situation arises. Take note, this is a REAL LIFE situation, no internet involved.

Friend: HAHAHAHA

Me: ????

Friend: I just saw some guy slip on a patch of ice and fall into a snow bank.

Me: HAHAHA

Friend: He got FUCKING OWNED by that ice.

Me: *THOUGH BUBBLE* WTF??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?/1/1/1


This happens more often than not too. People are constantly throwing out OWNED and shit around. It's making me FREAK THE FUCK OUT.

If you stop and think about it... leet speak had to start somewhere and there have been geeks around long before the internet was invented, by Al Gore mind you.

People have been saying owned for quite some time though. I didn't hear that particular one on the internet first.

[Tsa`ah]

Well before the internet connectivity became as common as the TV.

You can thank sports teams and their "houses" for it.

[crazymage]

my roomate called me a geek when i yelled out i think it was brian westbrook being tackled, BRUSCHI JUST OWNED THAT FUCKA

[Jonty]

I've heard sports announcers say owned during football games.

[Parkbandit]

Owned is not 1337 speak.. pwned maybe.

I thought you liked women? Has your last girlfriend hurt you so bad you decided to switch teams?

:no:

[Methais]

It's only a matter of time before PWNED takes its place as a spoken word.

How the fuck do you say PWNED anyway? POWNED? P-OWNED? PWEENED? POONED? PWIND? Whenever I read it I can sorta pronounce it in my head, but to actually form a verbal word out of it...

[Parkbandit]

Yea.. I say it powned... and my wife says "What?"

[Jadewolff]

I've wondered the same thing :duh:

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Has your last girlfriend hurt you so bad you decided to switch teams?>>

I'm my own team. I doubt I could get anyone, let alone a specific gender.

Aw. You sound so sad and pathetic.

Dear Bob-

Rejection is just part of the game. Get off the bench and get in there little fella.

[Bobmuhthol]

The game should fuck itself and make this one chick go out with me. Or Connie. Whatever.

[Tsa`ah]

Heh ... Park said little fella.

That's very funny.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Just remember:

Women are sweet
And girls are honey
But beat your meat
And save your money

I didn't know how to spell whippersnapper.

:(

[Fallen]

I imagine it would be said P-owned. That is how I always thought of it.

[Kainen]

Leet speak or however you wanna say it.. always seemed a little silly to me. That and I know I would look like a total dumbass if I tried to use it. :D

[Artha]

My friends say n00b all the damn time. Pronounced new-b.

[Bobmuhthol]

n00b is outdated. The correct word is nub.

PAWNED would sound pretty much right.

[Bobmuhthol]

Except there's no a. Saying pawned makes you a fucking idiot. Say owned. Now put a soft p before front of it.

[IntegraC]

>>Except there's no a. Saying pawned makes you a fucking idiot. Say owned. Now put a soft p before front of it.

That makes no sense. You try saying that out loud? Powned? It doesn't come out with the same effect as seeing 'pwnd' spelled out. But whatever, you wanna say powned, I'll say pawned.

[Bobmuhthol]

Yes, I did try saying it out loud. And so did everyone I know. Multiple times. For months.

[Divinity]

I've never said it outloud, but I do hear owned a lot. Or newb. I've even heard people call new employees that. "Meet our newb!"

I'm not partial to either it way, I just kinda look at them funny.

Also, wasn't there a lengthy discussion about this on Psinet yesterday?

Different Meanings of PWND (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwnd&skip=0)

I guess the way I say it, pawned, refers to number 24.

[Bobmuhthol]

UrbanDictionary also has the retarded meanings of 420. Doesn't make it right. In fact, most of those definitions are also stupid as all hell. But yeah, you're definitely referring to number 24, which is not cool at all.


edit:
p.s. it's pwned not pwnd

My girlfriend uses the word "owned" and "noob" like 473290874290 times when we're playing WoW. Drives me up a friggin wall.

Some words are better off just being typed and not spoken.

[Meges]

Bob got PWND by the opposite sex.

It's pronounced just like the way it isn't spelled. Simply, "Owned." Trust me on this one esse, I used to play Zero Wing and shit, we get signal.

[Insodus]

Your GF plays WoW with you? I think mine might be busted or something...

Except when you use it as a crutch to back up your nonsense?

Since the word isn't spelled correctly to begin with, I doubt the e makes a difference on way or another.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Except when you use it as a crutch to back up your nonsense?>>

Yeah I use it all the time!!!!!111111

<<Since the word isn't spelled correctly to begin with, I doubt the e makes a difference on way or another.>>

The difference is it originated with said e.

[Tsa`ah]

The origin of the word is "owned". Since IRC geeks threw spelling out of the window (all while you were playing with tonka trucks and eating glue), I highly doubt an e matters one way or the other.

Except to you ... then again you matter how?

[Bobmuhthol]

How many demerit points for offensive terms again?

[Tsa`ah]

Just go for another 90 spam boy.

[Bobmuhthol]

Spam boy? Sounds like a personal insult.
