Hey, I wouldn't call myself new here, but I've seen the word "Pwn " written a lot. Now what in the name of Christ does Pwn actually mean? Here's an example, 2cesarewild - LSD pwns Jeebus An answer would be gratefully accepted, thanks!
A common misspelling of "own" that has become part of leetspeak. Outloud it may be pronounced "pown".
i see, because the P and O keys are right next to each other - okaaaayyy - i always thought 1337 5p34k3r5 were on the nerdy geekish side, but jesus- now it's been proved. i thank you all for your feedback.
Only word I use in everday conversation that doesn't have any vowels. Cool variationes include phoned as in "ring ring, oh what's that? oh you just got Phoned!" and pawned (think chess jokes).
all your base are belong to me by the way, what a great example to use "2cesarewild - LSD pwns Jeebus" by the way it took my forever to realize.... dueces are wild!! muha! PWND U N00B!
Not dueces, 2CE's. Pwned. I'd always heard that "pwn" was derived from Counter Strike, when someone would "own" with a pistol. Pistol owned = pwned.
I think some other kid explained about some other geek game that the developers fucked up on and when it was supposed to say player1 owned player2 they mis spelled it and it said pwned.
