- In the majority of real-time strategy games, F10 opens up the menu and subsequently pressing "n" causes you to surrender and leave the game. When one player is far ahead of his opponent and it is self-evident that prolonging the game is a lost cause, the player that is far ahead will say something to the effect of "Get F10wned," to signal its time for his opponent to surrender the game. The word plays on the "0" acting as an "o" to complete the word "owned," and in combination with F10 makes an appropriate insult.
