many people attack “p-wned” as a misspelling of “pwned”, but it has, in fact, become an acceptable spelling. the original origin of the word “pwn” was a typo, probably from a high-speed chat, of the word “own”. think how “the” is now “teh” in traditional l337 internet slang. in any case, looking at the origins of the word “own,” one could deduce that it implies some dominance over something or someone. when “own” and “owned” became “pwn”, “pwned” and “pwnage”, the words came to mean the same thing; dominance and superiority. the new word “p-wn” is very simmilar in the sense; its plain definition is to belittle or reduce someone or something to p-wn status, essentially, “owning” them.

the word p-wned is frequently thought of as a mispelling of pwned or pwnd, and this is likely true. however there is much debate as to the pr-nunciation of this word. people could have a scientific discussion as to whether to use the vowel cl-ster “aw” or “ow” however that would waste much time. since people sound gay when they say “powned”, so it is generally accepted as “p-wned” and means to own something, but not in a literal sense, such as a prison b-tch.
1. i p-wned your grandmother last night in a game of strip poker

n. p-wn

1. something given as security for a loan; a pledge or guaranty.
2. the condition of being held as a pledge against the payment of a loan: jewels in p-wn.
3. a person serving as security; a hostage.
4. the act of p-wning.

tr.v. p-wned, p-wn·ing, p-wns

1. to give or deposit (personal property) as security for the payment of money borrowed.
2. to risk; hazard: p-wn one’s honor.

those are the proper definitions.

now for p-wnage itself:

defined as,
– a chess piece of lowest value that may move forward one square at a time or two squares in the first move, capture other pieces only on a one-sp-ce diagonal forward move, and be promoted to any piece other than a king upon reaching the eighth rank.
– a person or an ent-ty used to further the purposes of another

in the second example, we can see how the idea of “p-wnage” can be used as a legitimate meaning behind “p-wned”, “pwned”, or otherwise. those whom you own contribute to your score in games, your social status in person, or whatever else you can apply it to. thus, you’re using someone as a p-wn for your overall benefit.
“i went to the p-wn shop to p-wn my jewelery.”
“i p-wned this guy on cs:s.”
“you are actually more elite if you’ve used p-wn instead of pwn for the reasons behind my (the, actually) definition.”
