WITHTEETH Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 what does the P in Pwnage mean? I am certain the whole word means ownage but why is there a "p" instead of an "o"? And wtf does wtf mean? Always outnumbered, never out gunned! Unreal Tournament 2004 Handle:Enlight_2.0 Myspace Website! My rig

Darth Drabek Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 What happened to the "Hoff" thread? I was just about to defend the honor of his Highness, the great Chuck Norris... baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs
Moose Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Came after owned. Was changed to pwned precisely so threads like this would come about. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
alanschu Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I'm going with the "some goober thought he'd be funny and type in "owned" and misspelled it, but to save face he made up some bogus explanation. Someone else saw it, thought it was witty, and started intentionally do it." Since that day, IQs have persistently dropped.

What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Moose Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Thankfully these days in gaming talking like a retard is old and only tolerated for single word terms. CS for example, "knifxored!12" would be tolerated (though the 2 is really pushing it). "lik wtf u ghay hax. u lam use teh awp111roflcopternoooooob" just isn't cool anymore (remarkabley it once was, though one must take into account the majority of CS players are 14 year old kids). There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
