- 1. A word/corruption">corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned." Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned." It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force. > "Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned." > OR > "That team totally pwned us." Source: ecdict
