How is ‘pwned’ pronounced?
Keep the ‘p’ silent. Don’t draw that much attention to it.
Say the ‘p’! Loud and proud!

Drippy-goo-yay, mother-gunker!
Curious to hear the Zone’s take on this one… Me, personally, I always imagined that leaving it silent would make sense in most verbal contexts. Right?

I've always said "pown" due to hearing some fuckhead say it "Pee-Owned!" in the mid 2000s.

imho it's pown. one could argue that the p is a silent consonant, but i couldn't fathom a word having one at the beginning without another consonant right after it e.g. tsunami have just thought of a word. disregard.

Actually *pushes up glasses and the reflection shine hides eyes* the Japanese つ (tsu) character pronounces t and s aloud together. Kind of like a little ‘tss’ sound

I don't think anyone should even spell it pown cause that makes it look like maybe you think it rhymes with the word town, and if you say it like that you're loving insane like the people who say super 'mayrio' bros.
