"The slang term pwn (see pronunciation note below), used primarily in the Internet gaming culture, means to soundly defeat an opponent. It is sometimes used for taunting of an in-game enemy, and rubbing in victories. The etymology of the term pwn is believed to be rooted in a typographical error arising from the proximity of the 'p' key to the 'o' key on a standard English keyboard.

The term has become ubiquitous in Internet circles and is often used outside of gaming contexts. Its progressive form is "pwning." Its noun form is "pwnage," or "pwn4ge." Its most common use is with the past participle, "pwned" (sometimes spelled "pwnt", "pwnd", "p4wnt", or "pwn3d"). An example: "You just got pwned."

As given the recent development of the word, and its primary use in written form only, there is no single accepted pronunciation of pwn, as there are no vowels, this often leads to arguments about the "correct" pronunciation. Pronunciation is usually determined by personal preference and the context of the game being played. Common variations include the following: [oʊn] ("own", in reference to the original misspelling — a common pronunciation), [poʊn] (as in "corn pone" — also a common pronunciation), [pun] (as in "harpoon"), [pəʔˈoʊn] ("puh-own"), [piˈoʊn], [pən], [pwin], or [pɔːn] as in "pawn". It can also be pronounced phonetically, as [pwəʔˈn̩] (pwən)."

Ahhh, Wikipedia. If only you could hold a pen, you could do my degree for me. Heh.

EDIT: Hell, if it could hold a sabre, wikipedia would probably make a pretty kick-ass Sith too....

There's a wiki on ANYTHING.

Actually, PWNED = OWNED except that some lazy guy hit the P key instead of the O key and didn't bother to fix it.

And Ithron, if you ever provide a real world translation for slang again, I will force strangle your nut sack to death. :mad
