No, it's a typo. It's just that simple. Somebody was typing too fast and it came out pwnd and somebody thought it was funny or cool and started using it.

The funny thing is that nobody seems to realize that it's a typo and has something to do with 'new leet' or something.

It's far more complicated than that. Popular typos and l33t are totally intertwined.

More true than I'd like to admit. In any case, pwned is nothing more than a typo, so if you really want to tell someone they were beaten very badly, use Owned.

Please for the love of all that is holy and good say owned and not pwned.

Diabolicus · 10-23-2003, 10:14 PM

well people who have the slightest shred of intelligent say it Owned not powownoededed or anything, it aint an acronym or an abbreviation or nothing. so yeah.

Me thinks thats it could be a typo, or wat i was thinking, it came from CS it means Pistol-Owned or Pwned(Owned take an O add the P instead) Like if tou kill somone with a glock ,you Pwned them

makaveli121212 · 10-25-2003, 08:35 AM

actually pwned is owned, but the o is bleeding (p), implying that you did substantial harm to the one you are pwning

Pwned Originated Originally when someone went to say i OWNED JOO and wrote i PWNED JOO because the O and P are close together and it became a tread that everyone now uses.

Hello, you are a dumb biotch. You obviously haven't played Rainbow Six or you would of known that pwned means "power owned," people even use it while they play counter-strike. You obviously know nothing about either of these games (which leads me to believe you arent over the age of 14), otherwise you would of known this. Don't say obnoxious things like this. It only proves how ignorant you are. Say something else about the word pwned, I dare you. I rarely post, but what you said was ridiculous. Obviously I couldn't let this one go.
Your not a true gamer until you know what leet words like pwned mean. Now stop reading this and put your head back up your @$$.

plasmix · 10-25-2003, 09:04 PM

GOD. Every single person that plays Counter Strike knows it means OWN3D. Power owned? WHAT THE CRAP IS THAT?!?!?

plasmix · 10-25-2003, 09:14 PM

Actually, I always pictured it on purpose to make the "p" a bleeding "o". Heh.

RobbyZero · 10-25-2003, 09:17 PM
