What does 'PWN' mean in games?

Recommended Posts

Help me out with the lingo people - I'm 30 and getting on a bit and still do not know what this means.

It's "Leet speak" for 'Owned'.

 

To own someone is to lord it over them in a game (or something else I suppose).

I do believe, I am not down with the kids anymore :)

What does 'owned in a game mean' or which games would it be used in?

 

I am guessing the COD games?

See - COD... groovy or what :)

 

Incidentally thought the COD games were a fishing game trilogy at one point until told otherwise.

Look at this website for an explanation.

 

The Urban dictionary gives you an explanation of most modern-day gobbledegook.

Excellent stuff - many thanks for that.

Although this one I found a bit weird on that site

Dude, I totally raped your ass during that last game of Age of Empires.

 

Unnverving stuff.

If you were playing a shooty game like Call of Duty, if you did really well and didn't die, you'd pwn the opposition.

You're awesome at quoting from other sites - something which most forumers cannot do, yet you let down your brain powers with not being able to google the word 'pwn'.

 

funny thread anyway
