Many people attack [pawned] as a misspelling of pwned, but it has, in fact, become an acceptable spelling. The original origin of the word pwn was a typo, probably from a [high-speed] chat, of the word own. Think how the is now teh in traditional [l337] internet slang. In any case, looking at the origins of the word own, one could [deduce] that it implies some dominance over something or someone. When own and owned became pwn, pwned and pwnage, the words came to mean the same thing; dominance and superiority. The new word [pawn] is very simmilar in the sense; its plain definition is to belittle or reduce someone or something to pawn status, essentially, owning them.
