I used to say r0xx0r all the time, and some other stuff I can't remember. Then I stopped using computers for a while. Now it's coming back again. I actually said to someone "I owned that crossword puzzle" and when I said it I thought "pwned". Almost said LOL once.

How about youse guys?

I say LOL (luwl) every now and then. And i'll say "Leet, yo." Just for fun really.

I use it from time to time. You may hear me pronouce "LOL" every now and then.

My brother and I use it rather frequently in jest, making fun of the idea of saying netspeak out loud. We mostly just say "pwnd" (pwinned), though.

It's happened a couple of times for me. LOL will slip out from time to time for me.

I do it on occasion, although perhaps more so if I'm on the internet a lot. When I do, it's usually 'lawl', 'owned' or 'fail', which isn't quite internet-y, but it's close enough.

I tend to say "owned" and "pwned" a lot.

I don't even use internet slang on the internet.

I use internet slang a little in real life.

Post subject: 

Usually only when I'm making fun of it, even though I use it online myself. Sometimes I feel like saying LOL, but I don't think it's ever really happened.

Also, I went over to an online friend of mine's house a week or two ago, and he was talking about so game and how he "owned" it.

I'll say pwned when playing Melee against my brother, but I don't think playing video games really counts as real life. ;)

I say pwned and roffle, but not very often.

I think I use it more in real life than on the internet. Sad isn't it?

"Lowell!"

I'll say, "suxx0rz" "r0xx0rz" "z0mg" and "owned/pwned" in real life, usually just to make fun of it though. Is that depressing? :p

I say "pwned" a lot. A LOT a lot. Other than that, though, I don't say anything else.

Never, never, never. It disgusts me when people say that in real life (like my brother)

I'll say BRB (Burb) every now and again.

I just say you got pwnd. That is it.

I'll say that too. I usually direct it at some other person who just somehow humiliated themself.

I likely spout out internet slang from time-to-time, but other than that, I really don't do it. Unless I'm making fun of it. Like in a page of my comic, I put down OMG four times to cover up the laziness and have a cheap joke.

I very occasionally use it on the internet... kinda... Well I say stuff like lol. On messenger, like. And in real life, it's sort of our thing to use ridiculous internet slang. ROFFLE! LMAO!!! TEH 1337!

Post subject: 

I use pwned all the time (which I pronounce "powned" with the long O), and sometimes I'll joke around and say LOL and ZOMG (which I pronounce Zoh My God!)

Usually just for jokings. And making fun of Myspace addicts. I'd say haha a lot, but that doesn't sound entirely internet-y in the real world. I hate using haha, it sounds to me even more n00by than LOL.

Only when me and my brother are playing video games.

Mostly Super Smash Bros. Melee. I'll sometimes say to him, "PWN THAT NOOB!" Or well both say, "OWNED" when an AI is deystroyed.

Otherwise, I don't use it.

Pwned is a great word, even if there is some despte on its pronounciation.

Yeah, but the poll is weird. Since when do fingers come out of people's mouths? That's just creepy.

Lolocaust. I would totally sig that if I wasn't shamlessly plugging my comic.

Yeah, I rarely use leetspeek in real life, unless it's sarcasticly.

I use "woot."

Actually, I probably wouldn't be using a lot of internet slang if Homestar Runner didn't vocalize it first.

I mean, if I say "pOwned!", It's just like how Strong Bad says it in the TGS#10 episode.

I just now reread the poll and understood it. Could have crappy wording, but I'm still a moron. :P
