Pwned means to completely dominate the opposition, or impose a humiliating defeat on the enemy. This term is used mostly in online games.
Pwned originates from a game of Counter-Strike, around Christmas day in 2002, in which a player was eating while playing at a party, and faced off against the last remaining enemy by himself. After winning, he typed with one-hand the word "owned", which ended as a mistype, with the "p" replacing the letter "o" (P and O are next to each other on the QWERTY keyboard). Instead of correcting the mistake, other players started using it, which soon spread to popular games, like Starcraft I and Warcraft III.

Definition: A corrupted version of the word "owned". Due to the fact that the "P" and "O" keys on a standard QWERTY keyboard are so close together it can be easy to miss the "O" key and accidentally hit the "P" key. The word itself means to exel at the game or kill someone in a game.

Pwned is used in the gaming world to express when one has been thoroughly fucked up by another Player or an NPC.
It's another way of saying one's been boned, or owned by another gamer or NPC.
Pwned is pronounced like boned, only with a p, poned- or p-own-d, that is p-as in parot, own- as in I own that shit, d as in dog

The total ownage and/or complete shutdown of a person, place, or thing.
Derived from the word "owned" but is much cooler and more widely used.
It was created because of an idiot who can't spell "owned" (and so therefore he was pwned)
