I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" is

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.
- Glad I'm not the only one.... The hell is it doing after epic?
  
  Should be "let's go" then "no cap"
  
  Epic for the win
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
- Thank you for this incredibly interesting yet highly unexpected history lesson. I really enjoy knowing this now.
- ..... 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 :>
- 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
- Yeah, pwn was way before epic
I still use rad and gnarly. Because those words are rad and gnarly.
- I see this as an epic win
  
  That's some wicked illness for real.
- That's pretty tubular of you
- I've been called out for my overuse of the word rad before lmao
- Rad, gnarly, sick are still widely used in skiing and snowboarding circles at least.
  
  Anything for the gnar points
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
- 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
- Rizz? Can we just send that word back to hell already?
  
  I mean its just a shortened form of Charisma. Cha sounds weird, and Risma sounds like the set up for a "MUH BAWLZ" Joke
- I rizzed in with a W cap from Ohio 🎶
  
  F'real
- That hep cat’s rizz is putting the jelly in this pawg’s roll.
- ate it
pog was also popular in the 90s tho
- Remember pog? It's back!
  
  In POG form!
  
  but now it's Alf, remember Alf?
- You knew things had gotten serious when the metal slammers came into play.
- I'm a little sad I had to scroll so long to even find a reference to the old "pogs". Damn what a weird fad.
Flameo
- My hotman
Oh I still have POGs around somewhere. Middle aged Americans can kill this quickly...
- Alf Pogs?
Still use gnarly. Get fucked, I'm never giving it up. Over my dead body
- Sick, dude.
  
  Totally righteous 🤙
- I sometimes use the weird words 90s kids used here in Germany. My favorites are definitely lazer and Porno. Porno literally meaning porn.
  
  Find isch auch porno
- Rad
  
  I still use that, and I’m trying to bring def back but I got none of the rizz to do it
Pog is like 3 years outa date we chillin with skibidi rizz rn
- I like your funny words, magic man
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"
  
  ... and dog's bollocks.
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.
Bully!
- Capital, old chap
Dinkin flicka is not on this list and it makes me sad.
Phat.
- Bitchin’
What a groovy meme, dude
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.
- Friendzone nah thats poggers her rizzler can have that gyat

Did I miss pog and pwn? Or are they so new I haven't heard them yet? My coworkers are all in the same age range as me, but they are cooler also. Anyway I'm old and a couple of them have "no cap" on jackets so I can't imagine that's a fresh one.
- Pog has been around for years. But up until recent it has been pretty exclusive to streaming and esports. So I amagine it's easy to miss if you are not in that bubble. pwn is the only one on the list I've never heard before.
  
  It was my understanding that pwn mean you are "owning" them in like a winning way. Like instead of Saying "I just owned you" when you win at something, you say "I just pwned you."
  Am I way off? Does it have a new meaning? I'm so far out of the loop these days.

Pogs are pretty pwn.
Its all circular because pogs was first
Not very sigma of you.
