pwned
[ p-own-d ]
transitive and
intransitive verb or adjective
Definition:
The past tense of the word "pwn," which
means "to kick the ass of (an opponent)."
HISTORY:
Contrary to popular belief, "pwned" did
not originate in Warcraft. A top Quake player
misspelled "owned" and the term quickly spread to less players and
eventually to nearly the entire population of online gamers. The word is
usually used in online FPS and RTS games.
USAGE:
Pwned is often said to an individual's lesser
opponent after the greater person or team has defeated his enemy.
Can also be used when verbal superiority is shown
in an argument, for instance:
"My Typhoon just pwned
your Ferox, noob."
"Pirates of Destruction
Union just pwned your Whole Corp, NooBs!
POD-U is ROCK!"
