Brilliant. (Humor - Internet chat boards)

I'm so disappointed that my bitchiness isn't well represented here.

I thought about making you the person shouting "Pwned!" but that was clearly too follower-y and not sufficiently clever-y to be you. And of course I didn't want to make anyone other than me be the ugly crude offensive voice because I didn't wish to offend anyone and because the crude voice isn't very bright. *laugh*

Face it, Cloudy. You're inimitable.

Teeny textspeak for "owned," as in "conclusively and thoroughly defeated." Usage: "Dude, he totally pwned you!" or simply "Pwned!" to denote that the event has just occurred.

No idea why.

I repeat ... wtf?

I'm gonna guess it started off as a typo like drubnk on the AH.

 

[slyc_willie]

It's a damned good line and bears repeating.




And I now imagine (with apologies) ...

Black Shanglan: "First!"

Slyc_Willie: "Retard, you can't post 'first' on the twentieth post."

Black Shanglan's More Crudely Obnoxious Alter Ego: "I'm the first to post 'first,' retard."

Assorted Idiots: "Pwned!"

Black Shanglan's Normally More Civil Ego: "Can we kindly not use the word 'retard'? It's offensive and cruel."

Black Shanglan's More Crudely Obnoxious Alter Ego: "Fuck you, retard, retard, retard. Fucking donkey."

Slyc_Willie: "Nice. And you're still not first at anything but being a DONKEY."

Assorted Other Idiots: "Pwned!"

Liar: "Hey, some of my best friends are donkeys!"

Random Troll: "I WANT SEX UP YOU DONKEY!"

Christabell: "OK, now me really not feewingwellll. "

Random Troll: "I FEEL YOU WELL BABY!"

Assorted Idiots in Chorus: "Pwned!"

(Etc.)



PS - Hope you're feeling better, Christabell.

I'm honored . . . I think

There's a Wiki entry about it if you want to know.

I did read it ... and it just made me feel very old.

's ok. I didn't know too. Though, as first born, you are older. *smirk*

but I have it on good authority that I'm cool.

Yes. Yes, you are.

Yes. Yes, you are.

Try not to smirk too much when you say that ...

I always assumed it was to get by spam filters, then just caught on. For a while I got a bunch of spam advertising videos of people who got owned, then at some point it changed to "pwned". Not really that important, I suppose. *shrug*

Nope, it's gamespeak.

Little things in culture shift so fast these days, I just ignore it and decide what I want to indulge in (and no, saying "pwned" will never be one of those things).

I want a big screen TV first. The first time I saw a Wii, they were using it at a bar, doing a bowling game on a 10 foot high projection TV. That was freaking cool!

It's AWESOME. We've wanted one for a while and it's been out of stock.

Party Time!

My kids screamed so loud. Daughter said "Mom. I want to say I love you. I'm embarrassed to say it because you'll think it's only me wanting a Wii. But I love you."
"I know that, honey. All of that."

It could be worse. I picked it up gaming, and on one game the alternative term in common use for severely defeating or beating someone is "raped."

I actually gave up, confessed that I was much older, and stuck to my funky weird old person speak. Fortunately my guild members were tolerant sorts.

OK, there's another one . . . what the hell does that mean? I've seen it for a while, but have no idea where it comes from. Maybe it's time to start a gamer/chatroom dictionary (or at least a thread helping some of us noobs out ).

Gotta love Wiki.

My favorite . . .

On June 1, 2006, the video hosting website YouTube was taken down temporarily for maintenance. The phrase "ALL YOUR VIDEO ARE BELONG TO US" appeared below the YouTube logo as a placeholder while the site was down. Some users believed the site had been hacked, leading the host to add the message "No, we haven't been hacked. Get a sense of humor.

Too hysterical.
