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.

omg smoogrish is 1337, and i put leet sauce on my dumplings
and i say ksharp for president gg i win the thread andie close please QUOTE(Smoogrish @ Apr 25 2006, 5:31 PM)  "pwn" - to "own" or basically, to show someone up. I think it came from when someone made a typo and typed a p instead of an o. its rumored to have been started when a player in a warcraft 3 beta server typed "pwn" instead of "own" because of hte promiximity of the p and o keys on a qwerty keyboard another story is that since "p" is right after "o" to "pwn" some1 is to take "own" a step further =) gg nerd boy wins |

"Own" has long been an IRC terming for breaking into another person's computer and making oneself an admin (thus "owning" the computer, for all intents and purposes). |
