Pwned-Poned or Pooned

Means owned, originated probably from PC gaming, just like 1337 talk.

A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."

Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned."

It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.

It started as "elite" and moved to "313373" then moved to "1337".  It is pronounced "leet"...

The only reason I ask is because with the world progressively getting dumber and people teaching each other how to be illiterate, if someone does speak out, we'll all be like George Bush. "They misunderstanded me" Honestly people saying stuff like "j00, pwned, cuz, wut, etc." does absolutely nothing. It doesn't save time, it doesn't make you look smart, so whats the point? As I said, even if you think if can save you time when typing, does it really mater if your post, IM, etc. is sent 1 or 2 seconds faster? Come on people.

Basicly its used to confuse stupid people like you and to force you to ask stupid questions, so in the end it is you getting pwned.
