    If someone said 'pwned' (it was a little painful to type) to me in person, I'd nudge them under a train/off a bridge/etc.

    I saw pwned like er, pwned exactly how it looks like it is... but then I don't play whatever that geeky game is, I just waffle on here instead.

    A xmas temp in my department used to say "lolz" a lot which I found quite cute.

    My sister has started writing "you" as "yew". I cracked when she wrote "It's yewr fault" :mad: Hate hate hate hate mother-fucking hate bastardization of the written word!

    Surely you pronounce it 'ha ha ha'? Because you are actually laughing out loud?

    If you're saying 'lol' then you're not laughing....

    I never say "lol" in the cases that I would when chatting, but I do use it as a word. As in, hearing something funny, after laughing for real I might say something like "that was very lol".

    Like owned, but with a p at the beginning. And to give you an example:

    My friend had her hair cut and her mum didn't like it, so my friend was saying how it was all about freedom of choice and expression and stuff.

    So her mum then started saying that she would get her hair cut short, my friend was appalled, obviously (beingthehypocritethatsheis), and her mum said, "why not? It's all about freedom of choice and expression".

    And I said "ahahahaha, you got pwned by your mum XD".

    Did you actually say 'Ex Dee' to her as well?

    I'm heading out tonight.

    Instead of smiling at people I might just say 'colon, right bracket'.

    i frequently say tbh (it's a nightmare pronouncing it!) to my friends instead of to be honest. e.g. tbh you're a bit sad aren't you.

    my friends wouldn't get it.

    then i'd explain.

    then they'd beat me.

    I think of tbh as "too boo hoo", similarly to wtf.
