Still don't understand. Shan't lose much sleep over it whatever. There is a Vietnamese yellow curry and a couple of bottles of Tsing Tao waiting for me and a night sitting under the swaying palms watching a couple of big cats gently swaying in the marina as the Premier league unfolds on the screen.
It's a hard ole life.

Owned/pwned appears to be the term used when a teen claims to have proved you wrong.

Yeah not worth losing sleep over.
Now a darn gnat bite is another matter.

I know I shouldn't ask, but what is pwned?

According to the Urban Dictionary online, the use of the term pwned comes from a typographical error when a programmer was coding for the Warcraft game. The term was on a map supposedly to show who "owned" the area, but became pwned. Thus, if someone is pwned, they are 'owned' in one way or another by the person or object.

I agree. For Americans, not so sharp. Or are you saying, perhaps, that as an American you are a bit of a tool?

No I'm saying that "blunt" is the opposite of "sharp" when describing tools (actually "dull" is more correct). When used to describe a person, most Real Americans consider it admirable, and the opposite of "mamby-pamby" or "mealy-mouthed". The pun was also intended.

and what are you saying? that you own me? own? Sorry, didn't realise you were a teenager.And to own someone means what precisely. Am I to take it as an insult?
Y'know, old chap, if you really want to insult someone you need to use terminology with which they are familiar, else there is little point and you are wasting your 'valuable' time.
I guess you should really be outside in the fresh air running a lemonade stall or something.

Well you are just making things worse for in real English the word 'dull' means unexciting and colloquially it means slightly retarded or mentally challenged (to use what I am sure is an Americanism). But it's up to you.
Americans consider many things that the civilised world abhors as admirable. One of the reasons why you are extremely unlikely to regain your former position of respect.

If we could dump about 6 states we might have a chance of regaining respect in the world.

I had to use a gun yesterday evening.
Heard some noise out back. Looked out and 2 kids (18 or so?) were riding 4 wheelers around my cornfield (planted but not up yet).

I got the old .45 out and proceeded to shoot in their direction but not at them.
They scrammed quick. A deputy sheriff turned up in a bit saying he had a complaint about someone shooting at kids.

I filled him in and told him I just felt the need to target shoot at that point in time. He laughed and asked me if I wanted to file charges againt the kids. I said only if they come back.
I am also a deputy sheriff although few know it around here. I work with troubled vets and the legallity of a badge can come in handy if I have to take one of my boys in for a mental evaluation and they do not want to go.

I would like to see guns go away, but fear that it will not happen Humans will likely never progress that far.

btw in KY you are not allowed to shoot someone for property damage.
you are allowed to shoot them if they break in your home OR threaten you with deadly force though.

You asked for what it meant, two others offered incorrect explanations, is all. Geez Louise.

Let me be blunt: Most Americans don't care if the rest of the world respects us or not. Next time y'all are getting your asses kicked by some other country, we'd just as soon sit it out anyway.

And you, low IQ, don't know the English language as much as you portend:
dull
5: lacking sharpness of edge or point <a dull knife>

blunt
2: having an edge or point that is not sharp <a blunt instrument>
3 a: abrupt in speech or manner b: being straight to the point

That you check words in Webster indicates your ignorance. But I will not bandy definitions with you. I suggest though that instead of relying on a book originated by a charlatan who erred in the simple spelling of aluminium, you pop out to your local book shop and get yourself an OED or even a Cassells.
Had you sat on your own over-sized derrieres instead of charging into Eye-rak, the world would have been better for it so please, be our honoured guests - stay home and fix the tyres on your new house.
I think you probably mean 'pretend' not 'portend' in your final sentence.
Stick around, you might learn something.

Oh the delicious irony, one who portends expertise of the English language not knowing the meaning of "portend".

Then to ad-hom me, the writer of the dictionary, and Americans in general, then outdo himself with the red herring of the Iraq war. Simply delicious!

Four debate points for The Southern Man.

I think the fish belongs to you:

your asses kicked by some other country, we'd just as soon sit it out anyway

Oh, and please stop pretending. You slipped up. You can't spin it away. Ad hom? I think you are either too young or too stupid for me to continue this nonsense. Goodnight sir.
There is always one and I have to say that there are far fewer on this forum than on the War on Terror forum but I suggest you hang out, in future, with the crones and idiots whose refusal to answer questions, insults and general neocon nonsense so well identifies them. You will feel much more comfortable with them.

Not much or a response there except for a weak ad-hom. :)
