      1: The word "pawned" is sometimes used for the exaggeration and boasting of a won game of chess. It can also be used by a player with a significantly advantageous position that feels the urge to taunt or aggravate his or her opponent.

        * e.g.,  ... I just pawned you with the two move checkmate. Bobby Fischer pawned Boris Spassky in the Reykjavik World Championship, thus pawning the Soviet Union's domination of world championships. 

       [ "Pawned" ]

      1: The word pawned is frequently thought of as a mispelling of pwned or pwnd, and this is likely true. However there is much debate as to the pronunciation of this word. People could have a scientific discussion as to whether to use the vowel cluster "aw" or "ow" however that would waste much time. Since people sound gay when they say "powned", so it is generally accepted as "pawned" and means to own something, but not in a literal sense, such as a prison bitch.

      13:  - A person or an entity used to further the purposes of another


       [ "pawned" ]

      14: In the second example, we can see how the idea of "Pawnage" can be used as a legitimate meaning behind "Pawned", "Pwned", or otherwise. Those whom you own contribute to your score in games, your social status in person, or whatever else you can apply it to. Thus, you're using someone as a pawn for your overall benefit.

       [ "Pawned" ]

      1: 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.

        * e.g.,  ...  I pawned you! All your bases now belong to us! 

       [ "pawned" ]

      1: A past-tense variation of the word pwn (see defintion). To have owned or beaten someone, usually in reference to an online gaming experience.

        * e.g.,  ... Roserman pawned Nein and Morrow on that last game of Call of Duty. 

       [ "pawned" ]

      1: See Owned

        * e.g.,  ... "I just pawned that sucka" 

       [ "Pawning" ]

      1: It is the combination of Penis and Awning. It is the male equivalent of the FUPA, 'Gunt', or Vagomach.

        * e.g.,  ... Man, check out the overhang on that guy's speedo. He has a full-blown pawning over his junk. 

       [ "pawned" ]

      1: Generally thought of as an incorrect spelling of pwned, which itself was a corruption of owned.

        * e.g.,  ... N'aix just pawned Skeleton King's head for 200 gold! 


       [ "pawned" ]

      2: However, games such as DotA for Warcraft 3 have brought pawned into the regular gaming vocabulary.
