kwned is a rarely used edition of the word owned and pwned.

In certain first person shooter games (namely Counter-Strike), players are equipped with a primary weapon, a secondary weapon, and a melee attack. In Counter-Strike (CS hence forth) players are given a knife. To "kwn" a person would be to own them with the knife.

Note that the K indeed stands for knife, and to use it in the context of being hit (such as in Halo) would be incorrect.
FatManMGS2 killed Noob with knife.

Noob: Darn!
FatManMGS2: kwned

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
