Why talk like this in real life, though? Doesn't it just scream to the world
"I've never been layed and I won't be layed for a very long time."? It's embarassing. There is a time and a place for the word "pwn" just as there is a time and a place for asking how much damage a huge Monster of Legend 18HD dragonne would do on a full attack after using its Pounce ability or debating the merits of the spell Mana Leak in Extended. Leave the geeky shit where it belongs, the table or the couch.

I think it's because if you 'own' someone (like slavery) it's a rather demeaning thing.

Yea, I guess thats a good discription.

Statikk, using some of those words in real life is fun from time to time. This Jerremy kid is taking it a bit far though, but he's just a tard that is never even going to get close to someone of the opposite sex :p.
I use owned, pwned, lol (as it is actualy a word over here, otherwise I would never use it), ZOMG (I pronounce it as ZOMYGOT!) and ROFL (ROFFEL).
It's funny to use those terms in RL with friends who know what it means.

I have been known to use internet acronyms like IMO, OMG and ATM in real life without thinking. Then I generally feel stupid. :D

BTW, what does the 'Z' in ZOMG stand for?

It stands for kewlness. You can't beat a good zed.

p.s. I generally spell it zOMG because it's not actually an initial.

Probably the leeties just mixing around z0r and omg.

Pwned and Zomg were created by 2 tards on some famous forum. They made typos, and well, it became famous. This shit happens all the time, the ORLY bird being a prime example.

O rly? ZOMG that owns!

Edit: Does this count as spam? :p

Yes it is!! Warnz0rs!



lol... Nah dunno.... Zomg is just a pretty lame way of trying to sound cool.

Actually the owl is Yarly and not Orly.

Buttsecks?

A cheap laugh? That page wants to make me kill myself O.o.

*clicks on link*

*reads for five seconds*

*gives up*

What worries me most of all is that someone actually spent a few hours of their life on that.
