freeone3000 Report post Posted April 7, 2005 Of course, there is a slight relation between pwn and frag. Not one between pawn or own. How'd that one come up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derin Report post Posted April 7, 2005 own Actually, they're the same thing. To pawn - to own, or control. Yeah, but I was more thinking of pawns (like chess pawns). Still the meaning is 'own' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still the meaning is 'own' Indeed Freeone: Good question... *hits google* [EDIT] Frag is a term from the Vietnam war, most commonly meaning to assassinate an unpopular member of one's own fighting unit by dropping a fragmentation grenade into the victim's tent at night. The idea was that the attack would be blamed on the enemy, and, due to the dead man's unpopularity, no one would contradict the cover story. Fragging could also imply intentional friendly fire during combat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Iblis Report post Posted April 7, 2005 Placid is right yet again. Pwn = Pawn or Own or both. "An idiom is an expression whose meaning is not compositional" Leached from http://en.wikipedia.org On the other hand the "Chooo" or "Jooo" or "Dhouee" that usually completes this idiom has baffled anthropologists for centuries. It has so far only been explained by psychologists who suggest it is a lapse of lingual control brought about by intense excitement, and the need to vacate the mouth of saliva.
