Wow, dude, like that totally *owned* me, man!

doesn't sound likke he's reporting a positive experience.

Hard to be sure. What was the topic? Maybe that would help clarify.

Father of two college aged men attempts to translate...

A football team can be described as "owning" their opponents when
they easily foil all of their opponent's attempts to score. A boxer
"owns" his opponent when he beats him easily. In the same way an
examination can "own" you if you can't begin to answer the questions.
We've all been in that situation and know the feeling. There's a new,
concise, and poetic way of expressing it.

My younger son, who has always been a fine baseball player, noted for his
hitting, is still playing on a senior (over 30) men's team. They won a
national championship a couple of years ago.

But I recently watched him strike out three times in one game against a
local guy, who speciualized in throwing the Slider from Hell.. After the
game said son came up to me, grinned ruefully and said, "That son of a bitch
owns me."

Well, I know a son of a bitch who wanted to own me. Does that count?

Only in a certain sense, and not one that applies here. Your reference has
a sinister overtone that is missing from the others.

Well, he came walzing through the door and said... that. Actually, I
was flattered in being called "dude". I'm not sure what the topic
was.
