Is "owned" done yet?

[Rob9874]

Seriously, at what point does a word become passe? I mean, "groovy" and "the bomb" were cool once too. I'm starting to feel that "owned" is about as dated as "totally awesome".

 

[Vortex22]

[thirtythree]

This groovy thread is the bomb. It's totally awesome when people get owned!

Not as long this exists: 0wned

 

[CraigRT]

owned is still good in some circumstances. as are groovy, and the bomb.

 

[Rob9874]

I cringe every time I hear it. It's grown corny.

The proper response was: "STFU n00b, you got pwned!"

 

[imported_Strang]

Sounds like "owned" just got served.

Everytime I ask myself why I don't upgrade the RAM in my computer.

"Oh I remember, I HAVE RAMBUS!"

i have never heard/used it outside of the internet realm...so no.

You never heard "bombage" or "groovyage" or "bombed" or "groovyed".

Owned is just much more versatile. It has tense. It is a verb - not an adjective. It doesn't require the use of a pronoun or prephrasing to change it's meaning. Not to mention it has derivatives such as pwnd and such.

You just can't do stuff like that with "bomb" or "groovy".

You can say that bomb and groovy were owned by ownage.

 

[PingSpike]

No. Its just getting warmed up. Soon it will be ready for public, non geek consumption.

It's caught on to some extent with sports commentators. I've heard it on SportsCenter.

I don't know about "pwn3d" but 1337 is definitely out - too bad. I miss the haX0ring and the sw33r chiX0rs.
