Definition

Getting thoroughly screwed over, defeated, or taken advantage of in spectacular fashion. Originally internet slang for being dominated in gaming (synonymous with "pwned" or "owned"), though the term carries additional crude implications that make it versatile for describing any situation where someone gets the short end of the stick.

Example Usage

I worked overtime all month and didn't get the promotion—totally got shafted.
