pwned

"Pwned" meas u were overwhelmed by something or someone.

This word originated in Dota (warcraft III "mod")
because in the earliest version of this game, when you kill your enemy you need to take his head and sell it in a PAWN SHOP to get some gold. So it turns that you have just "PAWNED" your enemy. Then the word "PAWNED" became "PWNED" for an easier typeing or maybe just to look more like the other expression that means the same thing: "owned".

That's it.

Pwned Maybe

Used to describe events where someone got completely "pwned". History and etiquette dictates that the "pwned" individual(s) should declare the "Pwned maybe" themselves, but any witness may label it.

Note : "Pwned maybe" is 100% interchangeable with the grammatically incorrect, but shorter, "Pwn maybe".
