i'm sorry, this is a very stupid question, but what does
PWNed or PWNing mean?
(Shishka or Meka, save me from the flameres!)
from my understanding of it, to 'Pwn' someone, started out, as an error in Counter Strike (someone correct me if I'm wrong) some one got 'owned' and the person who typed it in, made the mistake of putting a 'p' instead of an 'o'. It's use proliferated, and continues even today.
Another way of looking at it, is to see that Pwning someone, is one step higher than owning someone, say, a higher plane of success.
EX:
if you beat someone 10-8, you beat them.
" " 10-5, you stomped them.
" " 10-3, you owned them.
" " 10-0 you pwned them.
ofcourse, that's just my opinion/context of it, I may be wrong...
