Let’s get mad like the gif days.
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.
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.
Poowned
I say pwned, but I think pwned is also an acceptable pronunciation. But if you say it like pwned, you’re dead to me.
“pfned”
“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.
Poownd obviously
pohned is correct.
Pwooned
It’s pronounced pwned, as all right thinking people know
Who pronounces pwned
NERDS!
I bet you pronounce gif wrong, too.
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.
On pure pwnage they pronounced it ‘owned’
Yeah, that’s how we’d say it when actually gaming. “Total ownage” man was that fun to yell at your friends while the four of you clustered around a CRT playing Halo on a 4-way split screen and one controller was always the garbage one and mountain dew affected you like cocaine…
That’s not a word I say out loud.
