FIRST!!!
Fake First!
DON’T TAZE ME BRO!!
He shoulda’ bought that thing dinner first
wtf
May I ask a question, seriously?
What in the world does PWN mean? Or to be Pwned? Is it pronounced “Pawn?” Or “Poon?” (Like your mother).
Serious replies, please. Others, please save your breath for your inflatable dates.
Dude, seriously, if you haven’t figured out Google yet you are too young even for an inflatable date.
pwned=owned. It originated from at typo I believe. Anyway for more info google pwned. ^_^
Back in the day during a Counterstrike (I think) tournament the guy went to type “You got Owned/I own you” or something to that degree and because O and P are next to each other he hit the wrong button. It quickly spread like a wild fire, and a new word was formed.
It was a mistake by Blizzard in one of their Warcraft games, I’m pretty sure.
I’ve also heard of it referred to as meaning “Perfectly Owned,” condensing it down to just P for “perfectly” before the “owned,” creating “powned,” and further shortened to “pwned.” Just another option.
TL;DR ahead.
The original word is Own, as in, you are the ownage, you own people, you own a game. Then someone came up with the term Power Ownage for someone who gets owned so badly that the ownage seems super powerful, or some shit. People got lazy and it was shortened to pwnage.
Explanation Overkill.
Still one missing!
From Counterstrike days (beta.1) Pawned was the originalterm, like the chess move to bait an oponent with a pawn and take him out.
That’s what I’ve heard it was.
Lots of conflicting stories, but in the end who cares where it
comes from. No one answered the other question though, and
one I’m curious about too: how the hell do you pronounce it?
I hear most people pronounce the P… but it sounds retarded.
I usually just pronounce it “owned” and go with the theory that
it was a typo.
explanation - FAIL :=]
“The only reason for giving multiple explanations is,
searching for the one they want to hear” (House MD, I think)
holy schrap! we are being distracted from the fact that hes like ” ok… load… close*STOMACH THRU MOUF*” and then his buddies are like
oh
that probably hurt
sucks fer u
my friend created a club called team pwnage, wth?(that’s why i have limited his hanging out time) and he refers to it as power ownage, while i still say, as it is more commonly found in games just ownage with p(ee).
always thought it ment pussy owned
In general I do not visit chat rooms but I was following up on the soldier (Korean?) being flattened by the recoil of the small howetzer. From my perspective the “dude” who dissed you lives in a very small world for small minds. here is the information I found on pwnd. It just goes to show you how simple minded people can get caught up in a misspelled word and make a great deal of use and ingnorant fuss over it; thus goes the English Language. You think, or not, therefore you are
pwnd 627 up, 136 down
A variation of the word “owned”. The only reason that this word came about was because of a typo, and given that P and O are right next to each other. It has nothing to do with combining words or anything of the sort. It is rumored to have come about from an early Warcraft3 map, in which the creator meant to have a trigger say “Player X got ownd”, trying to use the “1337speak” variation of “owned”, but hit P instead of O, thus giving birth to “pwnd”.
You have been pwnd. Etc…

3. pwnd 228 up, 69 down
A word which gamers use to indicate that someone was brutally beaten in a video game, and thus humiliated. Also known as owned, but misspelled and mass-spread. Basically the next level of “owned”
I’m sorry, but it seems you were just royally pwnd. Would you like another glass of pwnage, sir? Or would you rather hand someone else the controller…
seems a bit silly to speak with such authority about a word’s origins in rumor…
Congratulations, you are the absolute authority on something no one really cares about. I’ve heard people ask what pwned is in passing, but they didn’t really give a damn and they usually settle for a simple answer “It’s slang”
Seriously, why would you spend so much effort on such a trivial matter? If you often behave this way then you might need to think about seeking professional help for obsessive compulsive disorder, because that *points to Tom’s post above* seriously screams “I can’t stop being an anal douche bag!”
Maybe some people care about the origins of things.
Who knows, with that kind of attitude, maybe your “father” isn’t really your father, and you’ll never know about it.
Except this is not the forum for the discussion of the origins of “pwned.”
Please keep the internet organized.
Has anyone ever heard of wikipedia? Or Google maybe? How does it come to be that someone asks in the comment section of a short video “wtf is pwned”, instead of just opening another tab and Googling it. Good job, I am a truly lazy fuck and you have just uber pwned my laziness. Congrats!
it’s pronounced POON or POWN, and its the same meaning of OWNED but more intense.
First. Fail to these OOO IM FIRST PEOPLE! they prolly go to bars and are like..
hahahahah
“HEaaaayyyyyyyy babbbbby….. Blow me i was first to comment”
Second. HIGHLARIOUS.
Everyone else is ghey from now on
ORLY? Hmm, you seem to have commented after this comment so does that mean you are too?
Well, he did say everyone >else< was gay.
Oh snap
ROFL LMAO LOL
Why so sex?
If you magically turned everyone else “ghey from now on” you would never get laid again, except, of course, by the same sex as yourself (assuming male).
Your statement is overreaching and encompasses the entire population of earth from July 28th, 2008 at 10:05 am until the end of time. I hope you enjoyed wiping out the human race.
Best burn ever…. pwned
Awesome! Comment WIN by Burn
…but there’s always artificial insemination.
Actually.. There’s nothing I’d like more than to wipe out the entire human race. So, by being stupid, I would accomplish what I actually set out to accomplish. Funny how THAT works out.
last i checked people’s genitals didn’t spontaneously combust and melt off if they had sex with someone outside of their preference.
at least according to prison and HBO.
but there may be a boom in children fathered by Clay Aiken and David Crosby and really isn’t that worse.
Wait, Clay Aiken has a child fathered by David Crosby? How did Best Week Ever miss THAT one?
Good lord.
thats the burn of the week right there.
Holy shit.
That had to hurt like hell.
No, he probably meant for that to happen.
So apparently this is your way of coming out to the FailBlog community since you now appear after your lovely “ghey” message. Consider us all allies.
LOLz ….
It’s touching to see such supportive sentiments.
tadderdemalion outed himself a few fails before^^
Tadderdemalion is a fail.
i doubt it, if the shell exploded while his hand was still up there as it appears then he would have 1st degree burns on his hand, if he still even had a hand
You don’t have sarcasm on your planet do you?
Thank you…
yeah, i was there. it’s an advanced move.
I LOLz {-}
OW! OW! OWEE!!!
Really? Think about the guys IN FRONT of the cannon!
Wow, the other soldiers seem awful blase’ that their companion there probably has internal injuries and broken ribs.
I mean jeez, the guy basically flew backwards folded partly in half.
yeah, i don’t get it
you don’t even hear the fellow behind the camera make any reaction
probably had all the wind knocked out of him.
lo, that’s what I get for reading to fast.
Reading comprehension fail on me.
Maybe they don’t react bacause they knew what will happen to this guy XD
Tense fail.
Maybe they had it planned.
“Dood, we are totally gonna haze the new guy. Make sure you stay on the sideline.”
Welcome to Communism.
Well, due to the noise he may not have noticed at the start, and he may well have walked away because someone told him to get a medic. Although granted, he does seem to be going about it pretty slowly, if that is what he is doing.
FAK
