Let’s get mad like the gif days.
“Powned”, long o
pohned is correct.
It is pronounced like pony; pown.
This isn’t even a debate. It’s canon. “Pooned” like poon is a comedic acceptable variant.
Pown’d.
Pwned rhymes with boned.
Considering that it began as a typo of owned, this shouldn’t be hard to figure out.
Excuse me, this is the internet. There is nothing that can’t be made into extreme controversy.
It’s pronounced pwned, as all right thinking people know
That’s not a word I say out loud.
Poownd obviously
Who pronounces pwned
NERDS!
After not knowing for ages, I recently discovered it was pronounced pooned. The W is pronounced the same as in Welsh.*
- The Welsh language, not the word “Welsh”
pwelshned
I’m def saying “pooned” from now on. I’m going to tell people it originated from Moby Dick and is short for “harpooned” 🤣🤣 Get 'Pooned ye Noob Whale!
I say pwned, but I think pwned is also an acceptable pronunciation. But if you say it like pwned, you’re dead to me.
As owned with a “puh” on the front, but not as an extra syllable.

Just for the benefit of anyone who doesn’t know, this is not the actual etymology.
It just started as a misspelling of “owned” (with p and o being next to each other on the keyboard).
That’s true, but I would argue that the player owned definition of it came so quickly on the heels of the typo that both could count as valid, with the caveat that the first usage being a typo would have to be considered a mistake, rather than the coining of the slang term itself.
Which is stretching things a bit, but still fun to think about.
Correct, which is why it should be pronounced just like the word that was meant to be typed, only replacing the “o” with a “p” sound. It wasn’t that hard to figure out when it became a thing, people just like word drama.
Huh, I legit thought thought thats how we got it. Never been important enough to look into it.
