Overused phrases or ideas

Owned has always been a bit of a paradox to me. Those people on multiplayer games, or in debates, who believe they have done something totally brutal, cruel, overwhelming to someone etc and say owned....

I mean, do they treat all the possessions they own like that? Do they shoot the dog they own from the top of a school with a high powered sniper rifle - as in owning Counter Strike style? Do overwhelm the toaster they own with stupid facts and bad spelling and then sneer "toaster, your owned"? Do they take a silly picture with the words "owned" written on it and tape it to a pot plant in there possession after insulting it over and over in order to feel victorious over it?

I mean, do they treat their possessions with absurdity and disrespect like they treat those they "owned" on the Internet? Maybe I'm just looking to deeply here.

All of the above and the word gangsta

Beyond that phrases like "it's always in the last place you look" - I mean, of course it is, I'm hardly going to keep looking when I find "it", ergo it will always be the last place I look - it's just redundant.

Funny thing I only found tat out half a year ago....before that I foun d it really annoying but then one day I was thinking "**** yes, that's like the molst truestest thing I have ever heard" ....it still doesn't help a bit but I find it extremly coforting that something as true as that can be said.

Oh anyways...overused ideas...hmm...socialism

I think 'owned' might be a close relation to the phrase 'under the thumb'. I believe someone is 'owned' if they appear to be submissive to another, or if someone believes they have said something which belittles someone else in the most rudimentary manner. Either way, whoever is proclaiming the 'owning' is an idiot.

Can you help me with my 'pwned' problem? I just don't understand the derivation from 'owned'...

two words to help you out fanboys and geeks

Really needs to be dealt with with extreme prejudice.

'Chav' has been proliferated to death.

Sometimes a phrase becomes such a predictably wielded tool that I wonder how people expressed the idea before the phrase came about.

Chav can NEVER be overused - because they are simply everywhere.

MILLA 😱 Long time no see girl! How the hell have yo been?

[edit]I am totally aware you didn't ask that....but I said it anyways.

EDIT - Bardock corrected his silly typo.

I dig both your theories, but I feel that the latter one burns brightest. Could it be true?

The idea that women and men are equal. (Not referring to political/civil/etc equality).

I don't know, I like chess though.

I like shellfish, so my theory is the 'pawned' relates to prawns who can't spell their own name and are fond of making nouns into past-tense verbs. What do you think?

Another overused phrase. 😉 BTW, 3 year olds don't. 😛

Depends how they have been conditioned 😐 (Brave new world style)

Like it. When's the beta coming out?

Riiiiiiiighhhhht....now:

I like well-kept gardens, so my theory is that 'pawned' relates to people who yearn for green lawns, but are unable to pronounce any other initial consonant sound other than [p], so they add kettles and solidify their reasoning by adding an 'ed' - which refers to the editorial help they so desperately need, yet are unable to satisfy.

Hmm, pretty good, but I gave it some though I think it refers to Pans...you know the things you make pan-cakes in? Now you ask how the "w" gets in there......and I have no clue but it did...and that's why everyone says it now 😐

Them being everywhere doesn't mean the phrase itself can't be overused.

After hurting myself doing some DIY on something that was being taken down, I proceeded to brake it then scream "owned", All the years of gaming have gotten the better of me!... (I then added 1 to my score😂 )
