    it is very pointless, mainly l33t speak stuff..

    :lol:

    nope, it's from online multiplayer games

    to own someone in this context is to beat them well and truely

    pwn is a typo, and it stuck. just like teh.

    but yeh, it is stupid :)

    link

    "The slang term pwn (past tense pwned and other possible variants) as used by the Internet gaming culture, means to beat or dominate an opponent (pwned can mean "to be made a fool of"). While the term probably originated as a typographical error of the word own[1], it is now used intentionally by many members of the culture. The term has become so ubiquitous in Internet circles that it is often used outside of gaming contexts."

    What the hell does that mean. Just because letters are in math doesn't mean numbers can now make up words.

    Wikipedia's definition of this jibber jabber.

    Not the most reliable of sources, but I think you'll get the idea...
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Wikipedia is as bad as urban dictionary. Whatever happened to Merriam Webster and World Book and such :(
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I'd like to see words such as "owned" and "pwned" put into the swear filter. And if you're reading this Jim V, no tricks like putting my name in it. :p Though you can put Dr Pirate in if you wish. :p
