Quality isn't used primarily on the internet, I've used it in spoken language, and I hardly ever type it.

I made it myself!

I once opened a door for an old lady at an Applebees in Nebraska. When she said "Thank you very much!" I replied "np". I actually said the letters n and p. I felt like such an idiot and was so shocked that I'd just done that, I almost let the door slip and hit the old lady!

Yea, me and my friends have been using internet terminology IRL for about 2 years now. Its quite amusing saying it in front of people that have no idea what your talking about. I often times write things on the board(still in highschool)and force my teacher to read it aloud. Then we(me and 2 others)laugh, while the others in the class look around completely lost. Owned really isnt uncommon to hear nowadays. I hear it at least 3-4 times a day not coming from me or my friends.

i would hope one of my friends stabbed me if i ever said any of those..
if you say that kinda thing when your off the internet....you gotta recognize how much of a geek you are
EDIT..
*puts on rectangular glasses*
i forgot i saw owned and chooon and tuuuune all the time..
dunno if tune and choon are from the internet though..
but really...if you say "WTF" or "LOL" you need to get your life back haha
To me, that sort of language is just a joke, and so I've been known to use it as such. Personally I find it hilarious when other people say internet slang out loud, and most people seem to feel the same way when I do it. The way I see it, if people find it funny and have a little fun with it, there's no reason not to use it.
BTW, if u say "owned" ur a n00b, if u were 1337 like me u'd say "pawned." (gg)

I went out for a short bit and met this really cool girl, and I said "OWNED," and she asked me, "Did you just say 'OWNED'?" I said 'Yeah," and we got into a discussion about intarweb terminology and she said the same thing you did in the above quote, Tweek! Classic!!!!
The girl was REALLY cool and cute, though. She visits ebaumsworld.com and that's where I use a lot of Forum Pics, like STFU and OWNED, etc etc.

Quite a few people at my school say "OMG" out loud, letter-by-letter. Most people just say "Owned!" or "Pwned!" Other than that, I don't think I've ever heard anybody say anything else. Though reading through this, I'm worried about the day I'll actually laugh and say "LOL!"
