pawn?

Lost · 11-10-2006, 11:35 PM

I've always said "poon" for pwn. Or "pone" perhaps.

o_dancingfool · 11-10-2006, 11:47 PM

It's pone(as in cone). If it were own, there would be no purpose in continuing to use it. Yes I know how it came about, but my reasoning is still solid.

o_hired-gun · 11-10-2006, 11:49 PM

In Swedish it would be like "påån"

o_dancingfool · 11-10-2006, 11:50 PM

So how the hell do you pronounce that in English?

same here. 'pone'

o_dancingfool · 11-11-2006, 12:01 AM

YAY! Pone ftw.

o_bubbles · 11-11-2006, 12:20 AM

In finnish it's often pronounced pöön.

(Sorta like burn except with out the r and with a p instead of a b)

o_paft · 11-11-2006, 12:23 AM

It's pronounced "I'm a dense cretin" I think.

**mervaka** · 11-11-2006, 12:26 AM

"paft" then

o_paft · 11-11-2006, 12:36 AM

Take it to the insult the poster below/above Fred.

o_leandros · 11-11-2006, 12:48 AM

o_loader · 11-11-2006, 01:35 AM

POWN

POH-WUN-N

o_a boojum snark · 11-11-2006, 02:31 AM

I pronounce it phonetically the way it's spelled, with a weird three-consonant-combo sound. <_<

o_uber · 11-11-2006, 03:08 AM

poon

o_anshinritsumai · 11-11-2006, 03:31 AM

Poon, Pown, Pone, Prawn...

All of the above for the most part. Depends on the mood and situation.

o_uber · 11-11-2006, 03:37 AM

What about the depressed and sad mood?

o_dancingfool · 11-11-2006, 03:38 AM

Pawn I'd say.
