  owned
  
  
     1. [cracker slang; often written "0wned"] Your condition when your
     machine has been cracked by a root exploit, and the attacker can do
     anything with it. This sense is occasionally used by hackers.
  
     2. [gamers, IRC, crackers] To be dominated, controlled, mastered. For
     example, if you make a statement completely and utterly false, and
     someone else corrects it in a way that humiliates or removes you, you
     are said to "have been owned" by that person. When referring to
  games,
     "I own0r UT GOTYE" means that one has mastered Unreal Tournament,
  Game
     of the Year Edition to such a level that even the hardest AI
     characters are mere lunchmeat, and that no ordinary mortal player
     would even receive a point in competition. There are several spelling
     variants: 0wned, 0wn0r3d, even pwn0r3d. Hackers do not use this
  sense.
