Originally by: Ashanti Kayamura Pew pew dates back as far as 1980/81 and refers to the noise the lasers made in the original star wars. (technically speaking there were lots of variations of the pew pew sound effect as each ship made a slightly different noise), but generally it joined parlance as a generation of kids grew up running after each other with plastic XWing and Tie Fighter replicas shouting "pew pew!" to indicate they were firing and causing damage because the batteries ran out after 5 minutes constant combat - kind of the like the Amarr.
Its rise in Eve probably started around the NGE mass exodus from SWG.
I always thought that it might be star wars related, since its the only thing with ****ty enough sound effects to actually sound like 'pew pew'. Couldn't think of a reason why it would suddenly appear in EVE though.
Pew Pew!
Its the only clip i could find with the original SW pew pew sound effect, honest :)

It's not really that new. I remember pee-ow pee-ow when I was a kid a century ago, well 40 years really but it seems like a century. It's almost the same and like every word in our language, in time it gets shortened. It seems even phonics suffer from it.
-- There's a simple difference between kinky and perverted. Kinky is using a feather to get her in the mood. Perverted is using the whole chicken. All this has happened before and will happen again |

I always throught it was a Goonfleet thing. People were hating on them for the relative unseriousness that they take the game (Around about the time they were kicked out of their system in Syndicate). and they would respond with the observation that Eve is a game of Internet Spaceships that go Pew Pew.

Pointless thread is pointless.
Anyway, it's obvious that lasers go "pew pew" and Eve has lasers, therefore, "pew pew".

I always scream "Pew Pew" or the like when entering into PvP, I always shout " fly my pretties" or " release the hounds!" when letting loose my drones. Makes the dullest of fights more fun imho.

The funny thing is that people refer to PvP as pew pew regardless of whether they are using laz0rz or not.
As defined in Urban Dictionary:
In EVE Online, a phrase primarily used to refer to player versus player combat. "Dude, let's head down the pipe and get some pew pew."

From this day forth, new mandate "pew pew communicae, section 3.6/A" will be set in place;
Amarr shall continue to use "pew pew". Minmatar shall use "bang bang" Caldari shall use "boom boom"(shake the room optional). Gallente shall use "Run away!"
Message ends.
End transmission.
The ULD is stepping in on this?

Why did people call speedfits "nano" when only certain forms of them really were fast mainly because of nano?
There's more examples of things like this. Why do people say cats "meow" when they say mjau? or miow? etc. We describe things different in different cultures.
Pew pew = sound of shooting = people know what you mean. Doesn't matter if someone thinks it sounds mentally challenged to describe shooting that way. Because we all know what it means, that's all we need to know, and fyi; cats do mjau.

Why is there pew pew if there is no sound in space?
It should be more like "Hey guys, want to go roam the pipe to see if we can get some [silence....]?

Originally by: Crumplecorn It probably originated as a way of mentioning PvP with no SERIOUS BUSINESS baggage. A self-deprecating way to refer to your activities so that you keep things in perspective, and never end up on the forum emoragequitting over your pixels.
The same way people refer to EVE as Internet Spaceships. And refer to their Internet Spaceships as pixels.
My corp, SRIUS BISNES, does indeed PEW PEW. Our internet-spaceship-pixels are no laughing matter.

Edited by: NickSuccorso on 06/12/2008 08:13:20 One time I was walking to my house at about 1 am, when I noticed this woman walking toward me. She came up to me and sobbingly asked me if I had a phone on me. I asked her what the matter was, and she said that she was stood up by a friend that was going to give her a ride from one side of the city to another, so she was walking to where she thought her friend would be. The only problem was that she ended up walking like 8km to find out that the person wasn't there. Being the good citizen that I am, I sat her down under a street lamp while I went and grabbed my phone. When I got back to her (a minute or two later), I was nearly knocked down by her foot stink, freshly unleashed when she had taken her tennis shoes off. I felt pretty badly when I looked again and noticed that she had rubbed her feet raw to the point of bleeding in several spots.
When she was finished calling her friend for a ride home, we sat there chatting it up with introductions and small talk. We reached that moment where neither person has anything to say at the time, but instead of it being awkward, or nervous, it turned ****ing bizarre. I turned away from her for a moment, and when I did, she started saying "pew...pewpewpew...pewpewPEW". There was no rhyme or reason to this, and when I looked over at her, she just shrugged and said "My ride's here". She got up and stumbled into the car without so much as a thanks for the rescue, or a "call ya later". It's probably for the best, as that woman was dumber than a sack of stupid things.

Maybe the 'pew pew' was the sound of her recoiling at the smell of her feet? weird story
