I heard "pwned" said out loud in a radio ad this morning.
The guy pronounced it like "powned."
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Thanks, Cashmere. It was "pweened" in my head, which I was guessing was some regional euphamism for "screwed."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In my head it sounds like pwned, but I've never heard it said out loud. I have shrieked it internally a time or two, when it was an especially egregious situation.
I found my new favourite word: decathect. It means to withdraw emotionally in anticipation of future pain.
Isn't it lovely?

People! Internet joke typos should not be used in out-loud conversation! I include "teh" and "pron" in this category.
Just Say No.

I include "teh" and "pron" in this category.
I pronounce "teh" to rhyme with "feh," although Adam Sessler prononunces it to rhyme with "duh."

What is even happening?
I always read pwned as "owned," because it's a typo of "owned", although that wasn't how I treated "wrod," which I'd (in my head) pronounce as "rod" whenever I read it.

decathect. It means to withdraw emotionally in anticipation of future pain.
I have loved this word for many years.
Also, I say teh aloud to myself when looking at pictures of cute kittens on the internet-- like "Ooooh teh ketteh".

Oh, I do sometimes accidentally say "eleven!" when I'm really excited about something.
Crap.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I say "craxy" outloud.
