PWND

Definition: A shortened version of the word "pwned", which is corruption of the past-tense verb owned. Also seen spelled as "pwn'd". It is pronounced colloquially the same way as "owned" with a P added to the beginning, though its use in verbal conversation is generally discouraged. It is possibly the result of combining the words "own" and "pawn". It is also possible that it was initially a typo that occurred due to the keys "O" and "P" being placed next to each other on the common QWERTY layout keyboard.

Common uses as trash-talk generally refer to the domination or humiliating defeat of someone or something. The noun form of PWND is PWNAGE, or pwnage, following the time-honored tradition of adding the suffix "-age" to a verb to get a noun.
Usage: Dude, that guy just got totally PWND.
