Re: I'll bite.
Hello Crash,
I got that far, but the PWND left me clueless.

Re: I'll bite.
Rather than typing "OWNED", the most common typo is "PWNED". By using "PWNED" rather than "OWNED", one gives the impression that the word was typed rather quickly.
"PWNED" is very often used by today's teenagers, the internet generation. The fact that froggie used it shows that, even though he is married, he is really a little kid trying to impress the easily impressed (AKA EvC-ers).

Re: I'll bite.
There is something there that still escapes me, but thank you for the info.

No, I'm just a dude who plays World of Warcraft and is interested in the ad-hoc linguistic properties of virtual communities. I think it's funny, is all.
If you're impressed by 'omgwtfpwnd', though, you're right - someone here is easily impressed.

It's just a joke, based on words and phraseology that comes from the same linguistic source as the construction alluded to in Roxrkool's username - taking words like "rocker" or "hacker" and turning them into "roxr" or "hax0r".

Re: I'll bite.
The strange thing is that 99% of those who say "pwnage" do so in jest, like you.
