etsen3 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Finally one can say that someone was butthurt after being pwned! Too bad nobody actually does that anymore. The nerdy kids who used to say stuff like that are now adults. I bet this announcement coincides with a bunch them getting internships with whatever publishing company produces Oxford dictionaries. I guess in 5 years they'll finally get around to adding "v fleek mixtape af fam" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyBoy44 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Leet and owned are from counterstrike Pwned is from FPS doug. Fkn funny Pwned was still before doug. It derived from the constant misspelling of owned due to o and p beside eachother. Doug just popularized it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drummer4now Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The assault on the language of English continues. Basically this.. Whats the point of adding these slang words to official dictionaries when alternatives like Urban dictionary exist? Shakespeare is probably rolling in his grave right now.
