Is "pwned" hip anymore?

[em_te]

Is the word "pwned" hip anymore? I do not see that word being used much nowadays.

[techbeck]

IMO, pwned was never a hip word and you were a tool if you used it....but thats MO....

[what]

'Fail' seems to be the going word now.

[Lee G. Veteran]

Yeah, 'fail', 'epic fail', and 'facepalm' seem to be the new 'pwned' now.

[Colin-uk Veteran]

I use the quicker to type "pwnt" varient now days :p

[Eric Veteran]

I prefer "crushed." :)

[scokem]

No. No it's not.

Anyone who says it as "powned" needs shooting too - I get ****ed off hearing that from kids online who think they're cool when really they have no idea where the phrase originates from nor the fact that you still pronounce it as "owned"...

Just my opinion of course :p

I always laugh at that too. "Powned? Are you calling him cornbread?"

Asking Geeks and Nerds whether a word is hip is pretty much a losing debate as it is :laugh: I think I speak for most of us when I say being hip and cool isn't really that high on our Agenda, besides obeying what is considered cool in this country pretty much means absorbing chav/pikey culture, seeing as most of our other social groups pretty much leave each other alone.

[Grumpy Old Man]

I'm hip. Right?

[t_r_nelson]

I'm hip. Right?

If you have to ask, then you aren't. :p

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

pwned never was cool or hip to begin with imo

[leph555]

"anal rapping" is in now :/

[episode]

"anal rapping" is in now :/

Anal rapping?

Is that like gangster rapping?

I believe you mean anal raping.

[OOOOOOOO]

LOL! Pwned was NEVER hip! Geek culture to a degree has become a little cool ... but only if it's some hot chick wearing glasses and saying she's into sci fi ... anything relating to extreme geek, ie: the word pwned ... sorry, no. Use that and forever sleep with only ugly desperate girls. lol

[C_Guy]

"pwned" is an expression people resort to when their vocabulary is insufficient to express themselves at the first-grade level.

"Fail" is quickly approaching that status, too.

lol pwnt :p

[Malisk]

I like the sound of anal rapping more though.

[Black Flash]

Anal rapping refers to the state of some rappers these days, they're just a**holes and the only thing that comes out of their mouths is crap.

[Madoshi]

ony if ur a 1337 gamz0r

i use "pwn't" online sometimes and pronounce it as "owned". i see this trend towards "fail" but i don't like it because it to me is a lot more harsh :(

[NeoTrunks]

It was only hip to those that it originated with. Pistol owned. Action Quake 2.

[Navan]

Yeah, 'fail', 'epic fail', and 'facepalm' seem to be the new 'pwned' now.

Agreed.

[Sethos]

Is the word "hip" even in anymore?

[Rohdekill]

It never was hip.

[dead.cell]

Is the word "hip" even in anymore?

lol, probably not. Can't help but think of Saved by the Bell when I hear / see the word "hip".

Gotta love those colors! :p
