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.
It is pronounced like pony; pown.
This isn’t even a debate. It’s canon. “Pooned” like poon is a comedic acceptable variant.
This clip from Brooklyn 99 uses what I consider to be the only two acceptable pronunciations. The first obviously the silly way, the second the proper.
Pown’d.
“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.
pohned is correct.
Poownd obviously
As owned with a “puh” on the front, but not as an extra syllable.
It’s pronounced pwned, as all right thinking people know
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.
Pwned rhymes with boned.
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…
Who pronounces pwned
NERDS!
I bet you pronounce gif wrong, too.
That’s not a word I say out loud.
Poowned
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 pwnd, which is something like pünd or /pʊnd/
Like tomato.
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
