It just sounds a bit daft to me, really - I assume this is common slang in the US? :)

It is...lol, though you can find more interesting choices here:

Actually, it is fanboy-speak for "mine's bigger than yours"....

P.S. Nutty, they are both 22's... Muhuhahaha! :thumbsup: :naughty:

Ummm... R300 did have a lot of things to brag up about compared to NV25... shouldnt you be talking about NV30 over R300... i.e. NV30's awesome features that either didnt work or exist, or perform well enough to be used...? :rolleyes: ;)

I picked the term up from Pvp as well. Many guys also spell it as pwn.

If you have never played AO and want a laugh start a new player and level in the backyards. Most of the computer npc mobs use some form of 'dood' speak.

And say things like "why did you loot me!??" "Sword plz." "Can I have you stuff?" etc etc

Nv40 16 pipes? (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=14373)


If that ends up being true I would have to say it couldn't hurt, except of course on the heat side, which if NV throttles back the core in 2d mode shouldn't be too bad.
