About Pwnage
Pwn is a leetspeak slang term, derived from the word "own", that implies domination or humiliation of a rival, used primarily in the Internet gaming culture to taunt an opponent who has just been soundly defeated . Past tense may also be spelled pwnd, pwn3d, pwnt , or powned .
In hacker jargon, to "pwn" means "to compromise" or "to control," specifically another computer , web site, gateway device, or application. It is synonymous with one of the definitions of hacking or cracking. An outside party who has "owned" or "pwned" a system has obtained unauthorized administrative control of the system.
The word "pwn" may have arisen and spread as a common typo of the word "own," because the 'p' and 'o' keys are adjacent on a standard English keyboard.
Even though the word "pwn" has internet records as early as 1989, and is primarily used in written form only, it has no single accepted pronunciation. Common pronunciations include "own," "pone," "pawn," and "poon" ; "pwen" is also considered an acceptable pronunciation, although the first and second pronunciations are generally considered the most correct.
Electronic Gaming Monthly editor SeanBaby was also one of the first to commonly "verbalize" the word, speaking the word "owned" after an abrupt "puh-" sound, as if bluntly laughing before using the jargon. This frequent pronunciation was later replicated on episodes of South Park .
Some popular quotes involving "pwn" include:
