Is “no cap” next? I’m like way old.
Pwn should be a few steps back
Pwn, pwned was so specific to gaming it shouldn’t even be on the list.
And pog is specific to twitch in the gaming sphere, so the same logic would apply.
Not to be yelling at kids to get off my lawn, but gnarly was at least a decade before rad. Also, epic is nearly 2 decades later.
Glad I’m not the only one… The hell is it doing after epic?
Hemlo, inventor of PWN here.
It was a misspelling of “Owned” in a Warcraft 2 map that I made. People thought it was funny that it upset me when I noticed the typo and perpetuated the map version with the misspelling.
“Player 1 was pwned.”
For more Internet history facts, stay tuned.
Sounds like you got pwned, noob.
I fucking did. The Internet will never let me live it down.
However, it belongs to you all now!
Be free
And get rekt :p
… I can’t tell if you’re serious or joking but since it’s Lemmy I want to think you’re serious and that’s pretty fucking cool if it is, bud
Hello fellow pog, it is me, your ancestor :>
I mean I am like 37 so you’re probably more like my brother haha
Thank you for this incredibly interesting yet highly unexpected history lesson. I really enjoy knowing this now.
ITS HIM! GET HIM!!!
Did Pure Pwnage ever pay you rolalties?
Are you kidding me? No way. You can’t trademark a word or a typo. That’s dumb.
Jeremy deserves every ounce of his fame from Pure Pwnage

Oh I still have POGs around somewhere. Middle aged Americans can kill this quickly…
Alf Pogs?
As a millenial, yeet is still the greatest new word ever added, and why I personally will never be against the new generations choice of words. Fuckin Rizz is starting to appeal to me too
Yeet and yoink are perfection.
Especially with how you pronounce yeet, I cannot think of another English word that is as fun to say
Yeah once I learned Rizz is just charisma I wasn’t so mad
That hep cat’s rizz is putting the jelly in this pawg’s roll.
My problem is, right about when a word starts to appeal to me and I’m like “oookayy I’ll start saying it,” it’s way too late.
I guess I could balance it by always appending a Dude-like “…in the parlance of our times…”
That’s the thing. Once it starts appealing to you, it loses value to the original group.
It’s one of my favorite ways to fuck with my nephews and nieces.
Thats why I just start saying words Ironically immediately and then get infected into using them unironically
ate it
Still use gnarly. Get fucked, I’m never giving it up. Over my dead body
Sick, dude.
Totally righteous 🤙
Keep slayin.
Rad
I sometimes use the weird words 90s kids used here in Germany. My favorites are definitely lazer and Porno. Porno literally meaning porn.
Right now, “huge” is popping up a lot.
Big if true
One way in the back should say “bees knees”.
And somewhere between it and “rad,” “swell” and “far out.”
“sweet” should be on there somewhere after the 80s slang.
Next to “bee’s bollocks”
Dinkin flicka is not on this list and it makes me sad.
wicked
Whats the timeline on these? I feel like pwn win and epic all happened at the same time. Also i dont see leet or '1337"
“Rad” and “gnarly,” too.
I mean people didn’t entirely stop using them but those seem like 90’s terms to me.
They are, 80s and 90s. I mean that they happened around the same time.
Off to the side, begging to be let in: “fetch.”
I accidentally used Pog in real live when a girl that I’ve grown really close to told me about her having a boyfriend.
I guess you’re her little pogchamp, now.
