Get the pwnedmug. A basic error on the part of a Warcraft Map Designer; It is a misinterpretation of the word "owned"
In gaming language, it means to be elite and "totally dominate" or to "Own" with a "p" or "Pwn"
It can also be used as sort of a refrence to being "elite" or "uber"
This word was first used when a Warcraft Map Designer screwed up in his designing and programmed the computer(when the other player had lost) to say "You were owned." He made a typo and instead the computer ended up saying "You were pwned."

Get the pwnedmug. This word's origins do infact come from quake 3 like a gentlemen from the first page mentioned. A player named O.G. coined the term. Furthermore it was not a typo error it was done intentionally. I know this because I am the very O.G. himself. Some may remember my handle, mostly played ctf4 on quake.oarie.net. I'm an unknown e-legend. LOL. I am also the one who coined the term "knee grow."

Get the pwnedmug. 1. Came from Counter-Strike, meaning "Pistol Owned". Very humiliating for whoever got "pwned" as the pistol is the weakest weapon in the game.

Get the pwnedmug. 1. "Pwned" is a variation on the word owned and means something to the same effect but to a worse degree. Pwned came about as part of 1337 because "P" comes after "O" in the alphabet (and on a qwerty keyboard) therfore to be "pwned" is worse than being "owned". Contrary to what many beleive, this is the true origin of the word.

Get the pwnedmug. In 1967 the main guy off of the A Team (Hannibal?) found some plutonium in his jeep and he sanded it down and made it into the shape of a gun, which he fired often, but never actually hit anyone with it. Face and B.A. got in a fight over who got to hold it while Hannibal guy smoked his huge ass ceegar, until Murdock shouted out,"if you guys dont give me that Palm Wielded Nuclear Energy Device I will come over there and act all crazy RIGHT IN YOUR FACES!" So they stopped fighting, because they didnt like it when Murdock went crazy. They got dominated. They got owned. They got PWNED!
