So "pwned" means to get owned by someone? |

Here's one that students had to comment upon during their oral presentation on Tuesday : "It could be your co-worker, a friend, or even a family member, but you know at least one person who feels the need to CC people in every email they send. (...) There are times when CCing people is appropriate (...)"
The fact that it can be used with -ing shows that it's more than a mere abbreviation. |

| Yes, I remember "Time For Timer!" In fact, I often say, "I'm so hungry, I could eat a wagon wheel!" or "I hanker fer a hunk o' cheese!" Those are all on YouTube now. Also the Yuck Mouth commercial, about the weird blob who didn't brush his teeth. |

Lots of words are becoming verbs in that way. I noticed a long time ago that Federal Express (that's an overnight currier company) quickly become Fed Ex and then it turned into a verb: "I'll FedEx it, and you can have it on Friday." Texting is a new invented word, too. Text went from a noun to a verb form. Fax from facsimile, went from a noun form to a verb, "I faxed it yesterday, it should be there." |

Yep. The most obvious one is probably Google. "I Googled your name." |
