Owned by the phone. The phone controls your life. The phone rings - you obey its command. NOT answering the phone is not an option. You are powerless. Regardless of the hour, you will obey its desire no matter how ridiculous the request. Think you had other plans? Forget it. The phone rings and you are phowned.
OMG I have this final tomorrow and I so needed to study, and then the phone rings and now I have to go and meet Francine so I can listen to her whine about her boyfriend all night. I am so phowned!
Guy 1: Did you watch the last season of the O.C.?
Guy 2: It sucked.
Guy 1: Yeah, they really phoned it in on that one. They just kept killing people off and making up new characters.
Man 1: I phoned it in on work on friday. I basically did nothing all day but eat a sandwich.
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.
"Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned."
(verb) to have completed an action, especially giving a performance, while showing a minimum of effort.
Generally used to refer to performances that border on unprofessional. The intended audience would have been similarly disappointed if the person had delivered the performance by speakerphone, in order to spend more time on leisurely pursuits.
"Her song and dance routine at the music awards was horrible! She looked out of shape, she forgot half the words... she basically just phoned it in."
