I'm torn between that one and the Warcraft one for "best parody of media" Southpark episode.

Ahh poppycock. When I'm at work the foul language flows from everyone in a near-constant torrent, it's just part of the working life. As my boss put it: Expletives make the world go round. The funny thing is I very rarely swear at home. I guess I must use up my days quota at work!:rotfl:

I know this is a proper dunce question, but without laughing too hard can someone please tell me what 'pwned' means as I don't really get Internet Speak or what ever the hell it's called. :oops: Is there some sort of online dictionary?:roll:

Does this one count?

Basically means OWNED, as in you've done something that has failed epically or someone has dominated you in something online (like maybe a fight or in a video game).

Cheers Mikhayl and Stealth Hunter!:up:

I was never sure how to pronounce it: 'pawned' or 'poned' or some such.:doh:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwned

Here's a reference:up:

Pwned doesn't' really have a pronunciation. It's sound is formed entirely from the way it looks. Poh-owned, poned, pee-owned, and owned are common pronunciations. Similar to "wtf". Pronouncing it "what the *******" Is a misrepresentation. So is "wutuff"or wut the eff. Words like these exist purely in the state of the human mind upon reading them.

1337 is generally regarded as the most ignorant form of communication on the planet, except for binary , English, and whatever it is that is supposed to be telling a man that a woman wants something.

On the UBI forums you have to refer to Richard O'Kane, because 'Dick' is censored.

Read any book from the late nineteenth century, and you'll find writers pushing the limits by using 'd____d'. Before that no one refered to the word in print at all, except in serious usage meaning literally condemned to hell. One of George Carlin's 'Seven Words You Can't Say On Television', and one we routinely avoid as well, is used as a descriptive in the Bible itself when a warrior king threatens to kill every male child, and refers to "every one that p***eth against the wall".

When I was in the navy we used that kind of language all the time, but never in front of civilians, and certainly never in front of women. Today every high-school girl I see uses those words without a second thought. I doubt it was really much different in earlier times, we just don't get it passed down by conteporary writers; though we know about it because more than one old novel refers to a woman "swearing like a sailor", or "swearing like a stevedore".

Is there anything wrong with it? Probably not. And I agree - psuedo-swearing is just silly. But the point is to be polite, not perfect. We try to not use this kind of word because it really does offend some. It's like modern cars with super-bass blasting all over the neighborhood: you have a right to say it, but others have a right to not have to hear it as well.

I noticed sh-i-t is also banned (on subsim at least) but you say "crap" as much as you want, among other foul language. How come ?

I guess that's my fault. I was raised to consider some words offensive, and people who used them in casual conversation were...hmmm.... well, not very resourceful. ;) Sort of like people who insist on picking their nose and eating the results.

That is nasty Neal totaly nasty. :dead:
