It means "pawned." The origin is that when you stole something from someone you would pawn it and keep the money, so the gangsta speak became like "Yo, I just pawned yo ass."

Lazy typists appreviated to pwned and pwnd.

not true...while trying to type "owned" you accidently (or on purpose) hit a "P" instead of an "o" thus creating "pwned."


pwned.
