Pwn, Commonly used in place of "own" or "owned" (pwned). Used to describe a person outplaying his opponent skillfully.

Origin

The word "pwn" came about from the popular real time strategy game, Warcraft 2. A map designer mispelt the word "own" by accidently using a "p" instead of an "o". What was originally supose to be "<Players name> was owned" was "<Players name> was pwned".

Pwn eventually grew from there and is now used throughout the online world, especially in online games.


Example: "Rambo pwned Ksharp on Train"
