            I don't even know what that slang means. Good thing it is illegal for me to use it.

            If anybody would like to translate the above mentioned slang I am curious.

              "pwnd" came from "owned" which basically came from "to own".

              Long story short, it all means that you got beat. Most of the time it means you got beat pretty badly. All in all its just another slang term that leads kids into thinking that kicking teh snot out of someone is far cooler than having respect for.....well, anything.

              j00=you
              leet=elite

              Eg: I pwnd j00 cause im a leet haxor."

              Also known as stupidity.

                Wow, they have transcended the barriers of social grouping. They have stolen something that originated out of the internet/gamer community. Thanks SP for ruining a part of my life completely unrelated to paintball.

                    keep in mind special ops paintball tried to copyright/make WOODSBALL their TM. that fell apart...

                    but now everytime you use the word...you owe sp 50 bucks.

                    seriously though...how are they gona pull that off?

                      Wow, SP really has no ethics as a company do they? I can understand copyrighting material, titles or names but slang? Especially slang that has been around for several years now.

                        not only did they not start those slang words but they arent even used very often for merchandising. this was a pretty pointless copyright.

                          where did it say the copyrighted anything? You cant copyright words...or "slogans" as it were. You can trademark them though.
