I actually have to wonder if "owned" ever had this much of an effect on black people as "raped" did on women when it came about in gaming slang.

- trhtrsh 14y ago"owned" comes from a different meaning originally (owning a machine, and then identifying the machine with its user), whereas as the "rape" etymology is direct, but then convergent evolution leads us to insults like "I owned you like Thomas Jefferson owned slaves".
