pwn3d:

MEANING:
The past tense of the word "pwn," which means "to kick the ass of (an opponent)."

HISTORY:
Contrary to popular belief, "pwned" did not originate in Warcraft. A top Quake player mispelled "owned" and the term quickly spread to less players and eventually to nearly the entire population of online gamers. The word is usually used in online FPS and RTS games.

USAGE:
Pwned is often said to an individual's lesser opponent after the greater person or team has defeated his enemy.

Can also be used when verbal superiority is shown in an arguement, for instance, on a video or computer game message board/forum.

"My archers pwned your wyvern, noob."

"Clan AIC just pwned you mother fuckers."

(After delivering a perfect arguement):
"PWNED BITCH GGTHNXNORE"

explain that Usher has him to speak to common people like them

Ask them if they dance and drink and screw...

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 August 2004 14:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm sure there are a million people who'd love to wipe Usher's arse for him.

However if it were my bar, I'd take the Colin MacInnes line 'in the jazz club, everyone's equal'. It just smacks of all those 'terms and conditions' like 'you will not look at the famous person' - FUCK YOU AND YOUR ENTITLEMENT ISSUES. Most people in the places I drink would find that stuff a bit wanky.

usher tried to get a friend of mine fired from a movie they were both doing together. my friend was smoking a lot of weed at the time, as were most of the other costars. usher then went DIRECTLY TO THE STUDIO and complained, saying the smoke from the other trailers was "ruining [his] voice" and that he would sue the studio for damages unless they fired my friend. the studio would not comply.

My mom got a hit off of a 17-year-old Sandy Koufax at summer camp (she was 9 or so). She said he looked really surprised.

I totally pwned 50 Cent in the corridors of BBC TV Centre a year or so ago by elbowing him out of my way when neither he nor his apes would let me pass by on my way to the tea bar. The much-anticipated contract on me that I was kind of expecting has yet to materialise.

Liz, kicking someone alongside you is easy: I have just tried to explain how to do it but nothing quite conveys it right - will demonstrate at some future point (I perfected it on "little" sister).

I once got pwned by Peter Tatchell when he ran into me in Manchester and I nearly fell infront of a truck and he didn't even stop to apologise. However, I pwned him because now I hate gays.

James Ward (jamesmichaelward), Friday, 3 February 2006 16:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Another pwnage: Jon Ronson, a long time ago when he wrote for Manchester's evening newspaper. He was interviewing me as one of several Smiths fans, and I made up a pseudonym and two-paragraph pack of lies which appeared verbatim in the story. About five years later I met him again through a mutual friend and fessed up.

ted danson took a wife from n little rock. anyways, he's here in town more than we care for him to be. a few years ago, my friend, roger, who at the time was a cashier @ THE health food store, was cashing him out one day and he ask t.d., "are you becker?". "no, that's just a character i play on t.v., i'm ted danson. (smile, extend hand for handshake)" "whatever becker." he actually called him that all the way to his car, carrying his groceries. now that may not be a pwn, but it's still pretty amusing.

there was a show in Australia called 'beauty and the beast' which was a panel show where the format consisted of people writing in with problems and the host (usually a right-wing conservative loudmouth know it all guy) would tell the the person with the problem what a wuss they are and then three women, 'beauties' if you will, placed either side of 'the beast' would give their opinion on the problem. The women were mostly middle aged bleached blonde wives of media moguls and/or a former miss australia.

anyway, in the early 90s i worked in a parking booth in a very rich suburb of sydney below a building of doctors and a supermarket. rich wives in gold mercedes and gold rolls royces occupied most of the parking. my job was nice and breezy in the sense that parking was free for the first 2 hours with some kind of proof that you had patronised one of the businesses in the building. people rarely parked that long so i got to spend most of my day practicing guitar and watching bold and the beautiful. one day this fat chick in a gold mercedes pulls up, dripping with gold and diamond rings, and shes been in the carpark for about 3 hours so I tell her its fifty cents. FIFTY CENTS. well, she freaks out! 'IM NOT PAYING THAT!' 'I cant put the boomgate up til you pay it' 'IM NOT PAYING!! IM NOT PAYING!!'. im sick of it by this point, and shes clearly not willing to part with fifty whole cents, so i flip the boomgate up and she gives me a sarcastic 'THANK YOU' to which i replied 'go fuck yourself'. She starts screaming 'WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?'. i replied 'I said go fuck yourself!' 'whats your name? tell me your name!!!' 'i dont think so' and shut the booth window and went back to watching tv. She was outside, looking through the glass while i kept my eyes glued to the tv, for another 2 minutes or so ranting on and on. finally she screeched away and i snickered for a while.

A few years later i saw this 'beauty and the beast' show and realised that one of the regular panelist on it was the crazy gold mercedes chick. Prue McSween. Turns out shes been a famous socialite/celeb for years and she got pwned by me.

i was sitting on a bench at the local "rivermarket" and one of the local "attractive" female tv newscasters approaches me with cameraman in tow. they want opinions from young, hip looking people on some issue or other and wants to know if i'd like to participate. "no thanks," i said. PWNED!

Danson seems to have taken it well, tho:

"no, that's just a character i play on t.v., i'm ted danson. (smile, extend hand for handshake)"

I wouldn't have expected such a patient, polite answer!

Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Saturday, 4 February 2006 12:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Staying patient while Ai Lien's friend followed him to his car repeating it, rather than kicking him in the nuts in the carpark, is the real politeness kung fu.

when i was six years old, living in a sleepy little village in dorset, one day a whole load of those big grey BBC trucks rumbled past our door and up the road. 'oh wow, they must be filming something'. mum says 'let's go up later and take a look'.

by the time we get out the door the jungle drums have brought back the news that it's John Noakes and Shep and they're filming an episode of Go With Noakes all about thatching a cottage. so mum says 'why don't you bring along your Blue Peter annual?', this was the '76 one with John Noakes skydiving with the Red Devils from 30,000 ft on the front cover. John Noakes at that time in my life was my total hero. i thrilled to stories of how he wiped out at 70mph with the bobsleigh team on the cresta run.

me and mum hung around the outer circle of television crew bods for a while, they were busy filming so mum got me to wait patiently until there was a break in the filming and catering brought round tea and biscuits for everyone. so mum judges that it's cool, gives me a little shove and says 'off you go' and i walk up to John Noakes who's drinking a cup of tea with his back to the assembled:

me: please Mr Noakes, could you autograph my Blue Peter annual?

John Noakes: (looks around briefly - heavy yorkshire accent) FUCK OFF!!!

me: waaaaahhhh mummmmm!!!

pwned by John Noakes

i pwned him back later when i laughed at the Blue Peter garden vandal crisis and Shep died and he blubbed like a girl on national telly.

john clarkson, Saturday, 4 February 2006 14:17 (eighteen years ago) link

i got pwned by carl craig about ten years ago at sankey's soap in manchester. he was a bit of a hero so i asked his wife who was dancing by the booth if i could get in for an autograph and she said yes. was a little the worse for wear and gabbled some embarrassing stuff to him about how great he was. he wrote me his autograph and put "peace in manchester", me being from the other end of the east lancs went "b-but i'm from liverpool" and he just looked at me and said "yeah, but we're in manchester" and i went kthxby. needless to say when he played liverpool recently i gave the dj booth a wide berth (although some scall appeared to put him in a headlock at one point).

For those who haven't worked in the industry, a bellini is champagne with peach juice,

No. A bellini is prosecco (champagne is a reasonable substitute) with peach PUREE. No wonder Usher was so distrusting, I would be too.
