Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Re: How would you pronounce Pwned?
A good example of this is WTF. I've heard plenty of people say "wuhtuhfuh!" aloud jokingly, but there is no common pronunciation. On the other hand, pwn and pwned do definitely....Rum wrote:I was just reading something on a web site and it occurred to me that there are a number of on-line words and phrases that actually exist more or less only in text form.
You clearly don't play any online games with a PvP component and voice chat. You'd hear people say those words aloud every day.Rum wrote:exist in any auditory sense.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Re: How would you pronounce Pwned?
Just shows how some dimwit mistyping the word 'owned' has deformed the language again. It then just takes a few 100 other f***wits to copy this, thinking it's some new cool word, and Bob's y'Auntie! Mass "Simpletonism!" <= new word for us)
