- bilekas 4y agoHave my upvote. I concur. The article doesn't really "pwn" in the true sense of the word anyway but that's secondary.
- toolz 4y agoYou could always make/install a browser extension that replaces the word with one you like if you find it offensive.
- bozhark 4y agoPawned? He sold it at a massive loss?
- Agamus 4y agoAllow me my fantasy: I imagine you are a younger, polite, curmudgeonly person who sadly missed the bouncy joy of this word when it was fresh. This fantasy makes me want to keep using this annoying word that I somehow love.
- vmception 4y agoI'm down for using it in limited circumstances, like maximum pwnage, like when a university or municipality gets all of their computers ransomwared and negotiations fail with all the data being deleted with no backup. But only in an off the cuff remark as a passive observer, amused by the circumstance and grandstanding necessary to fail so hard.
- ziddoap 4y agoWhat does it being 2022 have to do with it? Do colloquialisms have pre-determined expiration dates? I guess Troy Hunt didn't get the memo either.
