Did I miss pog and pwn? Or are they so new I haven't heard them yet? My coworkers are all in the same age range as me, but they are cooler also. Anyway I'm old and a couple of them have "no cap" on jackets so I can't imagine that's a fresh one.
Lmao pwn is like 20 years old.
No fucking way. Is it pronounced like pawn? P-W-N? Was it more of a online text thing?
It’s pronounced like Owned with a P in front. It was just a msipelli g that took off.
I love me a good msipelli g

Pog has been around for years. But up until recent it has been pretty exclusive to streaming and esports. So I amagine it's easy to miss if you are not in that bubble. pwn is the only one on the list I've never heard before.
It was my understanding that pwn mean you are "owning" them in like a winning way. Like instead of Saying "I just owned you" when you win at something, you say "I just pwned you."
Am I way off? Does it have a new meaning? I'm so far out of the loop these days.
It’s an intentional misspelling of “own”. The letter p is next to o on the keyboard. I think it was meant to mimic the frantic typing of a sweaty competitive trash talker.
That's my understanding too. And because people kind of like the sound of it, they might use it slightly more broadly than that - but not as broadly as 'rad' or 'sick' or even 'pog'. I was there for the rise and demise of 'pwn', and it definitely was never as widespread as pog is now.
