"But how is 'pwn' pronounced? Pawn? Pown? Poon?"

As a linguist, I can answer that for you. It's one of those words delegated to the irrelevant and can be pronounced in any number of ways because no one in History will give a rat's rump about it!

In it's most direct, ancient translation it means, "You're a LOSER if you pay ANY attention to these two, and give them any credit for anything beyond hyping their own fading Star Power." :)
