1t = 0ff1c1411y 3p3113d pwn3d1!!!1!1!!!!~~ !!

Shouldn't that first 3 in 3p3113d be a 5? pwn3d 😉 (I've never used that word before...)

"owned' is the proper term.

It's directly above (and slightly to the left) of the E key. pwn3d again. 😀

Look at your keyboard. Where is the "O" key? What key is directly to the right of the "O" key? pwn3d.

It's the way moronic, 12-year old geeks show the rest of the world just how dumb they are.

It's almost as cool as people that put their 3dmark score in their signature...

It's just a way of separating the no0bs from the lifers. If you know what pwn3d is, if you use it, it simply identifies you as someone familiar with internet culture, not necessarily a beyond-hope geek. If you're writing sentences in |337, you're hopeless. If you drop a word in every once in a while, mocking something or someone, you're just identifying yourself as knowing the net culture.

This typo (probably caused by FFS*) is "popular" because an overly large percentage of prepubescent nerds like the way it looks.

I prefer "0wn3d".

pwn = pawn without the "a"...= moooron...

own = own...no questions...

Don't you know it's forbidden to make fun of a Diamond Member if you are only senior?

pwn3d!

 

[MagicianBdotCom]

Nothing is wrong with writing out pwned but people who constantly say it in real life annoy the hell out of me.

That seems to rank up there with people who SpElL lIkE tHiS. oohhh, impressive... :disgust:

pwn = some bollox
own = a word meaning to posess something.

 

[hjo3]

Maybe it'll become a whole new trend... remember how they used to use F's in place of S's in the middle ages? And ppl said "ken" instead of "know?" Just think... presidential address, 2104:

"Gppd Morning mye fellpw 4mericans. 4t 0900 tpday, we pwn3d Sydney."

I'm just assuming we'll go to war with Australia. Seems inevitable, right? Platypi give me the willies.

I am so bored.

 

[Aquaman]

according to googlefight.com........... pwned got owned 😛

pwned ( 11 000 results) versus owned (14 700 000 results)


Cheers,

[xirtam]

We used "owned" for awhile, but then that got pwned.
