Pawned is something old and/or bald people say when taking the piss out of people who try and use words without vowels, like pwned, to sound "young and hip" but who really sound like nothing more than a duck farting under water.
"Hey Dude...Did you say pawned or did you just trip over your tongue as you pulled it out of that duck's arse"
a word for people who try to be geeks, but somehow cant and say pwned wrong. OWNED becomes PWNED and rhymes. pawned makes it sound like youre playing some lame game of chess.
boy 1: you just got pawned!
boy 2: *cries* well your're not leet. and i'm telling my mom.
boy 3: AWKWARD
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."
