Oh man...I don't know what I'm getting myself into, but I am totally prepared to be flamed.

Everyone who plays says it, but I have absolutely no idea what it means or if it's even pronounceable.

What in the world is pwned?

look at your keyboard. what's the letter next to p? put that in it's place. use yer [IMAGE]ing brain. gnube.

It's crappy l33t for "owned". I guess some guys think it makes them cooler or something like that. I usually don't say "owned" by itself at all. It's so insubstantial. I usually have an autotaunt ready that says, "Owned like a little Japanese harem girl."

pwned = power owned according to a few people I know.

Oh, I thought it was owned but misspelled, peemonkey, I just didn't want to make it worse than it already was. And don't tell me to use my brain, how is someone supposed to know that a word is misspelled if everyone types it that way?

Thanks to all the rest of you (but not peemonkey :D ), that clears things up.

1. pwnt

Origins stem from owned, ownage, ownt. The character 'o' is next to the character 'p' on the keyboard. It was formed when some anonymous original party accidentally hit the 'p' for the word "OWNED".

It has the exact same meaning as the verb to own. The two words and their derivatives can be used interchangeably.

1. When a player is severely beaten by another player or party of players, in a game.
2. An expletive about a situation where something painful, embarassing, or bad happens to someone in real life.

The main dispute with this word is its pronunciation. It is originally believed that the 'p' is an accident and therefore not pronounced. However, several pronunciations have become accepted: p'ownt, pwynt, pinnt, etc.

Gamer 2: You pwnt us all...

2. Oh my God, did you see that guy get hit by that car? He was pwnt!

The urban dictionary says that it started when a programmer for warcraft accidentally misspelled it so that whenever the computer start won a map it said so-and-so "has been pwned" instead of they way it should be.

Pwned is stupid, knowone ownes in Soldat. The people may just be doing good one day, or the enemy is doing bad, knowones ownes... POOPI is a better word! :D

as I've heard it been pronounced, it goes somthing like " Poon'd" but I'm never one to argue semantics on the [IMAGE]ization of the english language.

what the word "pwned" has to do with anything Urban?

Nothing, but for some reason it's in that dictionary

Yeah, pwnt is a wierd one, took me a whiiile to figure it out. I mean, I always figured it ment "owned," but I never knew WHY people didn't just say "owned." I'm still struggling with "1337". I understand the definition, but I just have no clue why people use it. Leet. Is this some word I've never heard of? Damit.

It's just an abbreviation of elite

I use WROT instead of pwned

im [IMAGE]ing leeb (1338). much better than leet in only i and those i say can be leeb.
me has lisence of pwnership over you all. except geo. he's leeg (1339)

pshhh leet speak on the internet is so over-rated. I like ascii speaking better

What the hell is WROT?

Nice try being a smartass and failing hands-down. The picture of the keyboard didn't help prove anything, except that indeed O is next to P.

I'll move this to the Bash Pit, the question is answered and there's gonna be 1337 speak here anyway.
