Own to pwn

[DemonHunterZoidberg]

[Crimson-Shade]

one of the posts here on bf talks about it. can't remember where but it has something to do with war craft (i think) were a bug would print pwn instead of own on the screen

 

[liqu1d_g0at]

in a war3 map in use map settings when you lost it was supposed to say you got owned but then the guy made a typo and put pwned

We should come up with a list with all teh l33t terms

 

[FakeNameHere]

we call it spam here. Iv heard pwn meaning 'pound' 'pistol owns (in cs)' and 1337 talk for own. i rarely use it cause it sounds really stupid, a typo on purpouse. own is way better.

 

[Pamma]

when i see pwn i say pown

 

[ApocalypseCOW]

i say blizzard should put a special filter on the accounts if u say pwn 20 times u get ur account banned.

I actually heard that it was an abreviated version of Player Ownage. Thus pwnage was manifested....

 

[Kaldaris]

Its the same thing as owned..

 

[Speedy]

l33t is ok 1337 is stupid (i use it when im spammin but thats it)

own is better than pwn

 

[BH_Naft]

l33t is just gay half-1337, your either 1337, or not, there is no midpoint.

lol @ the wc3 map thingy, there is a myth just like that only with soem korean sc map, just shows to go you that its all bull....

probably has something to do with player ownage or most likely is just 1337 talk, like ogm and such, purposefull misspellings.

dont make more out of it than there is.

 

[TweaK]

OMG I PWN U

Notice how the o is beside the P and the P becomes the o and then spawned PWNEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!1

Anyways, the player ownage merge sounds cool

 

[Jaden]

I love to say owned. And not just in games, but it's fun saying 'owned' irl when somebody gets dissed. ^^
