The slang term Pwn, used primarily in the internet gaming culture can mean
- to own,
- have mastery over,
- and/or to soundly defeat an opponent.
It is sometimes used for taunting enemies in-game and rubbing in victories. It can also be used by non-gamers, in real world contexts. e.g. "I got "pwned" by my manager".
In internet security jargon, to "pwn" means "to compromise" or "to control", specifically another computer (server or PC), web site, gateway device, or application; it is synonymous with one of the definitions of hacking. An outside party who has "owned" or "pwned" a system has obtained unauthorized administrative control of the system.
Answer"Pwned" is slang for "owned." In this context owned means deafeted decisively. As an example you could say, "The 1992 US Olympic Basketball team pwned the competition.""pwned" means to be owned. This word is more apt to be used in online gaming.
For example:
"Your team lost so fast, you were totally pwned!"
It is thought that someone had tried to type owned and accidentally hit the "p" on the keyboard, or a programmer spelled owned wrong so when someone lost it said "(someone) was pwned." Instead of "(someone) was owned." Either way it happened it is now widely used as a term to signify that someone has lost and been completely owned.
