1. I think it does. And thank you for the link to that little clip.
I've been looking for that piece all day. :D

I think that works well to define pwned.

LOL

2. .
1. pwned



A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."

Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned."

It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.

"Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned."

OR

"That team totally pwned us."

5. Yeah, I think Boxer "beat" inhofe - she even waved her
"big stick" at him. That had to hurt. pwned by a Democrat who is "a girl."

LOL

13. Thank you. Is there a pronunciation available.
I confess I thought it was a typo when I first read it.

7. I just saw the clip on Olbermann...
That just kicked ass.
I love Barbara Boxer!!!
Why the hell do you invite someone to testify, ask him questions then not let him answer?
We all need to call and write Senator Boxer and give her kudos!!

8. No, see there are actually three levels of being 'owned'.
Owned level 1, otherwise spelled 'owned', is the lightest and means that you've been handed your own ass on a platter and have been given utensils with which to dine on it.

Owned level 2, otherwise spelled 'pwned', is moderate and means that you've been handed your own ass on a platter and have had the first few mouthfuls shoved down your throat.

Owned level 3, otherwise spelled 'qwned', is the highest level and means that you've had your back bent a full 180 degrees in a direction it was never meant to be bent, had your head stuffed up your ass, and been given a soda straw to breathe through while groups of rabid wolverines take turns chewing on your tallywhacker.

For the record, Inhofe was 'qwned'. 'Pwned' just isn't a strong enough word.

16. More proper usage would be "OMFGPWNT"!
Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 08:20 PM by Mayberry Machiavelli
By both Boxer and Gore. Boxer for showing the old coot what time it is, and Gore for showing by example how to have class in spite of this asshole trying to grandstand at his expense.
