Seriously, I don't know how one would go about pronouncing "pwn". Some people say "paaaaawn", but some say "pooooooon". Something random I was wondering about.

It's "poan", because the word is derived from "own". (There are a lot of Warcraft III players who pronounce it "pawn", though, because in the DOTA mod for War3, when one player kills another player's hero, the player is said to have "pawned" the other player's head for gold.)
