You know what I hate? When someone says 'owned'. Or even worse 'pwned'. Where the hell did that term come from? Is that internet geek speak? Cuz they sure as hell don't use that in my neighborhood.
And what's even worse is that they think they're being cool by saying 'owned'. Everytime I see that, I think to myself 'what a fuckin' loser'.
LOL, it is sad, but I can tell you where it came from. It was started by some geeks that play MMORPG's. Its called Leet speak (or 1337 speak). pwned is like being owned but worse, if you are pwned, you freaking suck. The only time I used owned is when I feel like sounding like a geek.
