The term "pwned" is derived from the word "owned." It is used informally online to indicate that someone has been outplayed or defeated in a spectacular fashion. In the game Golf Clash, it can be used to describe when one player has completely outplayed another, leaving them with no chance of recovery. For example, if one player has a score of 5 against their opponent's score of 10, they would say that they pwned their opponent.
