Let’s get mad like the gif days.
Owned with a P sound in front.
Powned.
It’s one of the first internet slang words I ever heard spoken over voice chat and it was always pronounced this way.
I have heard people mispronounce it various other ways on purpose, ironically, as mockery, but I agree that depends on people knowing there’s a correct pronunciation in the first place, which there is, as you’ve accurately described.
It is pronounced like pony; pown.
This isn’t even a debate. It’s canon. “Pooned” like poon is a comedic acceptable variant.
This clip from Brooklyn 99 uses what I consider to be the only two acceptable pronunciations. The first obviously the silly way, the second the proper.
Pown’d.
“Powned”, long o
Yes
It’s just “Owned” with a “P” at the beginning. P-Owned.
Same way you pronounce “Boned”.That’s what she said
Your description made me read it like “pooned” at first.
As owned with a “puh” on the front, but not as an extra syllable.
pohned is correct.
Poownd obviously
I say pwned, but I think pwned is also an acceptable pronunciation. But if you say it like pwned, you’re dead to me.
Poowned
“pfned”
It’s pronounced pwned, as all right thinking people know
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.
Pwned rhymes with boned.
Who pronounces pwned
NERDS!
I bet you pronounce gif wrong, too.
That’s not a word I say out loud.
Pronounced “owned.” 1337 speak is cringe but thems the rules.
Correct. Written as pwned, pronounced “owned”
teh_pwnerer says so Source
I agree, although looks like you and I stand pretty much alone in this among all these “hack-zors” lol
It’s okay they’ve been wrong for decades, must sting.
Yup.
