    What are in your opinion some of the best public ownages around on the internet?

    I don't like George Galloway but this was an absolute gem. For nine minutes he ripped apart Sky News one sided coverage of the Lebanon war.

    Or how about this one for one a bit closer to home..

    In the Christopher Hitchens vein, his Fox News interview where he talks about the Reverend Falwell's death is classic.

    OP could you explain what Ownage means, so its like winning a debate or an argument I suppose.

    Feck off, an opinion shouldn't be asked until the question is clear and explained.

    Do you actually need an explanation or are you just trying to be pedantic?

    No, he's right. We should always define everything before a question is asked.

    Do you agree?

    Oops, by agree I mean...

    Agreement or concord happens when a word changes form depending on the other words to which it relates. It is an instance of inflection, and usually involves making the value of some grammatical category (such as gender or person) "agree" between varied words or parts of the sentence.

    For example, in Standard English, one may say I am or he is, but not "I is" or "he am". This is because the grammar of the language requires that the verb and its subject agree in person. The pronouns I and he are first and third person respectively, as are the verb forms am and is. The verb form must be selected so that it has the same person as the subject.

    The agreement based on overt grammatical categories as above is formal agreement, in contrast to notional agreement, which is based on meaning. For instance, the phrase The United States is treated as singular for purposes of agreement, even though it is formally plural.


    Sorry, I nearly misled you there!!!

    I really don't understand why you feel the need to be so condescending. I was just trying to start a thread. No need to be a smart arse throughout it. I don't think I've ever replied to any of your posts before so I'm genuinely perplexed.

    And I am genuinely still unsure what an ownage is. The google link given earlier has left me no wiser when I take it with the posted clips.
    Please save me from my ignorance.

    I like this one. Blindboy Boatclub V Joe Duffy and an idiot liveline caller. You can almost pinpoint the moment Joe realises that Blindboy had just destroyed his, and his other callers, argument.




    Just a warning to people that might think Liveline is good based on this. You have to listen to about 1000 hours of the most stupid boring one sided arguing and moaning from auld ones to finally hear a gem like this. Don't bother

    Yes Wikipedia gives that for agreement but it doesn't explain ownage very clearly.

    Ownage is when you win something very convincingly. If you do, you "own" the loser. eg from my video "there was some serious ownage on liveline yesterday when blindboy came on".

    BTW, I feel like I'm talking to my dad here

    You're not the best at explaining yourself, are you? Sarcasm like LMGTFY achieves nothing when you were asked a civil question.
