What is pwned?

[ragtop70]

I'm only 27 and don't consider myself an old fart yet, but this pwned thing puzzles me. What does it mean?

[Cornfedwb]

Its owned, except more so.. it's really quite asinine.

[Storamin]

I guess somebody mistyped owned and viola, it's pwned.

By the time you can work your head around the stupidity of it and can understand it the forum retard government will have come up with something even more idiotic, so it's best not to bother trying to grasp it's meaning.

[Admiral Ackbar]

I think it's the Latin root of "punk'd."

Man, you post shit-tonnes of just emoticon replies. It would be interesting to see what percentage of your post count they made up.

So true... it's almost as bad as shaq-fu but not quite...

From experience I'm guessing 40-50%. Add in one sentence or shorter replies and we're up to 80-85%... there's a reason he's the official cag post whore. :)

At least he shares his sig with you. How can you complain with that?

pwnd is teh 1337 h4x0rz. it's a counter strike term using for ownage. way to over anaylze it you shits.

[GuilewasNK]

Pwned is a HIGHLY overused bit of what I like to call E-bonics (E for electronic) that simply means owned. The only word more annoying is TEH in place of THE.

E-bonics, I like that. Very clever.

1. The term 'owned' was originaly used to mean gaining root privledges on someone else's system.

2. Skript kiddies brought the term over to video gamming to mean beating an oponent.

3. Someone mistyped it as 'pwned' because the 'o' and 'p' keys are next to each other, and the misspelling stuck.

Nobody was analyzing, they were gauging it's stupidity. Thank you for moving the needle into the red.

[GuilewasNK]

repost..

[bmulligan]

post whore........^^

[Nirvanaguy777]

pwned is owned with a p, the p stands for pathetic as in whoever uses this term is pathetic

[GuilewasNK]

post whore........^^

Sorry about that. I'm not sure what happened because I was't trying to post it again. Anyway, I agree with Nirvanaguy777. I wonder what the Japanese or Spanish version of pwned would look like?

[bmulligan]

derrotado ?

[bmulligan]

dominado ?

[Admiral Ackbar]

Heh, I just thought of another one...

"What isn't pwned?"

Wacka, Wacka, Wacka! You've been a great audience. Good Night Cleveland!

[ZeroSupporT]

Tense of pwn.

An internet chat language variety/version of the word "owned", used in the sence of beating/defeating/outclassing someone. Usually used in games such as Counter-strike or on messageboards when a user posts arguments or insults that can't possibly be counter-argued.

Arguably considered so-called "l33t-speak"

"I pwnd you that round" "You just got pwnd dude" "I am going to pwn you like I did your mother last night"

[Cornfedwb]

Ahhh.. l33t-speak. I worry that in the far future, anthropoligists will find nothing except for remnants of internet conversations and come to the conclusion that during this generation we somehow sank back into Cro-Magnon or Neanderthal like behavior.. voluntarily giving up our gift of speech and replacing it with illegible gobbledy$$$$.

(And this is ignoring the rather pitiful view they'd have on our average intelligence by viewing the typical internet conversation)

edit - there's a new filter I hadn't seen.. gok with an extra o becomes GeForce.

[xzafixz]

Or it could just be people have fun and screwing around. Isn't that what life is about? There is no real meaning, just have fun and live your life, and don't let Cornfedwb tell you what to do.
