A
slang term used a lot by
hardcore computer gamers,
elite warez dudez and
wannabe hackers to indicate either something that is
very,
very good or
total domination or
total control of something. For instance:
The railgun owns!,
I could own you., or simply
0wned
For the most part the word, albeit
good, is horribly
overused, and has
spread to a degree into
everyday language. Occasionally it creeps into
geek vocabulary.
Humorous offshoots include
rented,
borrowed and
ten month reducing interest loan.
Closely linked to words such as
sp0wned/
spowned (spoon + owned) and
denied.
