does anyone actually know the origin of the word pwn here?
the only way i guess someone would know if they played the game it originated from...

nope can't say i do know...my guess...some dumbass spelt ''own'' wrong because u do know that the ''O'' and the ''P'' are very close on the keyboard :D and the person just kept doing it... :D

1. pwn
PWN (verb)

1. An act of dominating an opponent.

2. Great, ingenious; applied to methods and objects.

Originally dates back to the days of WarCraft, when a map designer mispelled "Own" as "Pwn". What was originally supose to be "player has been owned." was "player has been pwned".

Pwn eventually grew from there and is now used throughout the online world, especially in online games.
1. "I pwn these guys on battlenet"

2. "This strategy pwns!" or "This game pwn."

i think that is sooooo true. Cuz howcome is it that you would say "own" but say it ass "pwn"

own, owned
pwn, pwned

True, the O anbd P buttons are next to each other. But like XxEl_PeCaDoRxX said. i like the first definition. Dominating. That sounds appropriate.

I know, some of what i wrote was already said.

I am the definition of PWN.

I have proved it many times kicking all your asses in sfo many times. Damn I am rusty, haven't played in 4 weeks. And don't plan to anytime soon.
