stupid newbie--that's me. what's pwn3d mean?

[Paul Thomson]

what does pwn3d mean? i checked the glossary at the end of the FAQ...no luck. i'd appreciate an oxford dictionary definition that includes its origin and evolution over time. but i'll settle for a one sentence answer and some derogatory remark.

pwn3d is 1337 speak for the word owned

thank you for asking this question. I asked it in the "Newbie Question Post" by citanul but never got response. I was guessing Pawned but I just knew that couldn't be it. Now I know it's Owned. Thank you for answering!

[astarck]

I knew it was owned but whenever I read it I still think of Pawned.

When you learn what it means here (http://www.justfuckinggoogleit.com), you will realize it has just been done to you.

From the Urban Dictionary:

[ QUOTE ]
1. Hacker "Sp33k" for leet, or elite. Originating from 31337 "eleet", the UDP port used by Dead Cow Cult, a hacker group, to access Windows 95 using Back Orifice, a notorious hacking program.



2. Once used by the hacker community as sort of a sub-culture language, ANYONE using this type of speak in the present day in age is either:

A) A clueless net newbie who somehow thinks its still "cool" to speak this way.

B) A veteran net user who uses it to parody the type of people mentioned in example A.
