What I mean is people who sit in servers and call everyone "n00bs" because they keep getting owned by headshots, are usually the unexperienced and unskilled players themselves. Kinda like that flash video of the CS guy looking for cheats and getting a virus.

Hehehe.
 
I say, "powned" despite the fact that it should probably be pronounced as simply "owned."

There's four pillows on my bed and one of them is lumpy. My GF and I often play fight over who gets it. I made sure she got stuck with it and told her she "got pillowned!" She laughed, but had no idea what I was talking about. I explained, and now every time she one-ups me in something, she always exclaims, "Oh, pillowned!"
 
I pronounce it outloud and with my mouth.

I find myself doing that quite often, and with all different types of words.
