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.

i wonder how many people out there are using 'pwned' and dont even know where it comes from or know exactly what it means, if it truly means 'pawned' than its like saying 'robbed' or 'stole'. Therefore all who believe it means owned or beat severly, your WRONG, it would actually mean your were robbed, backdoored, pawned.

Nah, its from the online Warcraft game mentioned. I don't think anybody would take a ganster term and geekanize it.

lol you didnt even know the answer, the lifer had the answer and now your just making an ars of yourself. So Ill just take my "dell computer" and write you off.
 
anyways im thezionsoho on CS S, UT2004, BF 1942/V and Doom3 if you want to back up your "NooB" alligations. Besides, only teenagers and true losers with low selfasteems are more concerned name calling than being productive persons. get a life, grow up, do your home work. Saying its from WoW or that it was from 'Pawned" wouldve been sufficiant, but you all had show your ages and maturity levels. That was truly 'Noobish" of you Jollyroger, cvsin, sentinal, jules maximus, jbud02 and gigaars

It predates Warcraft by a long time. I'd say it came at least from the days of Quake but it's probably even older than that. In any case, geeks have a long history of adopting the coolness of black culture, and when they were busting caps in people playing early FPS games, they used to pawn, pawn, pawn. Also, in Kingpin you could literally pawn stuff.

When I was told about these forums, I was warned that there are alot of really good people that can help alot, BUT, that there were alot of fvkers too and to watchout for alot of immature priks and misinformation. It saddens me to see more people seem to be priks than productive and informative members of this community.
