Many people are under the impression that this word means "owned" but with a hip, trendy connotation, as if by using it they become part of a cool in-group. However, the meaning is in fact slightly different, and follows more along the lines of: "I am a stupid fucktard who thinks that by intentionally misspelling words I am building solidarity with the internet community, completely unaware that this gimmicky act actually just makes people hate me."

A corrupted version of the word "owned". Originated from warcraft when a designer spelled owned wrong. Instead of it saying (INSTERT NAME HERE) has been Owned, it said (INSERT NAME HERE) has been pwned.

The word pwned or owned means to be made a fool of. This word is generally used in gaming and on the internet.
Player 1: OMG LIEK YOU JST GOT PWNED!!!1
Player 2: Shut up.

(adjective) pronounced (pownd)- pwned is another way of saying 'owned'. when you get pwned, you just totally got your ass kicked, either physically or just at utter failure. it is normally used in online gaming. pwned really does mean owned but it came to be because the 'p' and the 'o' on the keyboard are right next to each other so it was originally got mistyped so it became pwned.
