"pwnd" is far worse than retarded. it's more of an elitist way of saying "I'm better than you." what makes it elitist is that it's origin from "I've owned you." (which is retard in first place) really means that you have become a slave or underling of the person who is your owner thus you have been "owned." no, of coarse they were not purchased, bought, taken, stolen, aquired, possessed, annexed or even claimed, all of which would have all been grammatically correct, they were "owned." from there, they cut "I've owned you" down to "owned" but it was far too long to type so they stared using "ownd." so it's really, "im cool because that other guy that says it is cool too." which at some point gets translated through lower and lower ages where they really dont know what it truely means. at some point a 12-year-old who cant type worth shit types it, some other idiots in the game/chatroom type something stupid like "rofl!!!!1" (that's a whole other domain of stupid) and finally to use it simply as "pwnd" because it's amusing to themselves. they use it later on and it spreads like the black death among this species of idiot. eventually, a dumbass kid like Nik's friend sees it and thinks, "I'll be cool too!" and finally plasters it on his car via license plate.
it seems that it's the result of verbal inbreeding on the internet. hmm... that sums it up nicely: verbal inbreeding.
some of the disgusting results of verbal inbreeding are: "pwnd", "roffel cakes", "1337" and disturbingly there
many many more.
