How do you pronounced "pwned"?

[Bucky]

Is the P silent? Do you insert the "O" sound or change it to a schwa?

17. funny that you ask

I just googled it yesterday, because my 8-year old has started using it occasionally. He says "poned," but since I don't have any idea where he picked it up, and I've only seen it in text, I wanted to check the pronunciation. LOL!
