A corrupted version of the word "owned". Originated from warcraft when a designer spelled owned wrong. Instead of it saying (INSTERT NAME HERE) has been Owned, it said (INSERT NAME HERE) has been pwned.

The word pwned or owned means to be made a fool of. This word is generally used in gaming and on the internet.

The word that if you say seriously more than 5 times you go to hell to be sodomized by a razor penised goat. Every time after 5 that you say it you get another eternity.
Demonic Goat With Razor Dick: So Halo boy, I see that the word "pwned" is in your life book a large number of times. You know, I have been fantasizing this moment since you first got xbox live. Just to warn you, my rage hasn't subsided since Satan gave me this shit job, and I'm taking it all out on you. So bitch, how do you want it?

A word that has been misspelled and accepted by our culture as an alternative to the word "owned". Sometime in the early 1990's, the United States education system started to fanatically increase it's liberal agenda and concentrated on political correctness doctrine therefore ignoring the basic fundamentals of education like reading, writing, and arithmatic.

As a result of this increase in child liberalization, standards of english decreased and such we now have a culture that can't spell let alone find out their head from their arse. Thus, when a map developer misspelled "owned" as "pwned", alot of uneducated liberal kids thought it was the correct spelling and thus we have this new term.
I have pwned a car before but it got repossessed.
