archenemy Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 OH yeah? Take this! 1. pwned link send redefine 1,421 up, 335 down A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned." Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned." It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force."Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned." I pwn Warcraft. Great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
