Why do people call it pawning?

It's originally "owning", but
P
WN is a common misspelling (mistyping?) of
O
WN, so it became "pwning".

I think he ment the act of pawning. Like pawning an ex's necklace or whatever. And I have no idea why it's called that lol

From wiki:
The word pawn is derived from the Latin pignus, for pledge...

Why are there offsides in soccer? Seems like if did away with that rule there would be less controversial calls and more goals scored. Maybe I'm missing something though.

To keep attackers from camping next to goal, waiting for a pass.

Maybe they should create a rule that allows for like 2 or 3 seconds of offsides at one time. Kind of like the 3 seconds in the lane rule in b-ball.

Pawning=pledging? I don't get it

Perhaps it has something to do with "pledging" a valuable item in exchange for money. Like if you give me this much money I'll pledge this thing, that I own, to you. Pledging may have had a slightly different meaning back then than how we understand it today.

To be honest I don't think anyone in soccer gives a s--- about whether or not the sport is big here. Well people involved in the mls obviously but I don't think people in the EPL and the euro leagues five a damn bi think they would rather us not even geninvolved. But that's just my opinion. Too bad because this world cup converted me I'm gonna start following this season I believe EPL play begins august 14th

Right. A pledge is an oath or promise.
"I promise to buy back my guitar if you give me some cash today."

Well that makes sense, might be a little dated though bad should officially change it from "pawning" to "motha fucka needs some cash"

Dang, I never would have guessed that. But when I look at my keyboard the "P" and the "O" are right next to each other, so it makes sense like a m*thaf*cka. I'm not even going to ask how you knew that Copper, but thanks for clearing that up for me.

So you WERE talking about pwning. People who spend enough time on the internet will inevitably find out what that means.

I had to go to urban dictionary a few years back for that one. I was playing Halo online and all of the 12-year-old were making fun of me so I had to go see what they were saying.

I don't remember when I learned what it meant. I think I just absorbed it one day during one of my IT classes.

Seriously? :lol:
Sorry to make fun, Halo is one of the most popular multiplayer first person shooter games ever made. You can play remotely with people all over the world on Xbox live and because you have headsets with mics you can hear everyone talking that you are playing with and people usually say horribly insulting things during gameplay.
