Doubles - NOT double notes, but, when you use two pads on DDR or SM.
eNd0 - One of the three stupid stupids.

Pwned is basically online lingo for 'schooled', 'in your face', whatever. It's direct meaning is 'owned', it was apparantly miseplled as 'pwned' and the spelling stuck. It is also used when you are referring to a song that you did really well on, you pwned the song. Or, in reference to the more common meaning, if I totally insulted someone then someone else could say 'PWNED!'

Btw, you can never designate your own insult as a pwn unless you're an idiot.

pwn was derived from a hardcoded death message in warcraft 3 beta, when they had a typo, everytime you or one of your heroes died, it would say pwned, it started getting used in forums, and it stuck.

Someone wanna tell me what a "boowhore" or "boowhoring" is? I've seen it used int teh context where its implies that doing so can help attain a high score, but i don't know how misisng does that/=. (give or take the ocasional hidden arrow)

WTF? no, not at all.
It comes from FPS games, where people often say that they "owned" someone, but since you're trying to type fast you often miss the O and hit the P, hence "pwned" was born. It definitely existed LONG before war3 was even announced. It took a while to spread outside the FPS community.


EmpSteele, boowhoring is when you mash the keys, trying to hit as many keys as possible because you can't follow the arrows in order to hit them properly. This gives you a very large number of boo's in FFR.

[EmperorSteele]

Ah, that explains it, thanks =)

But i think you're missing a small part of your "pwnage" story: People first replaced "o" with "0" (the #) as to spell 0wn4g3... and THEN someone eventually missed "0" and hit "p" =)

At least, that's what I've been able to gather.
