Urban Dictionary is fun!

Pwning

actually not entirely correct. In the late 90's a famous internet video-game reviewer wrote an article for his web page about the viral nature of slang in online communities. He urger all his readers to start using "pwn" instead of "own" to see if it would catch on, which it did. Blake and I have actually done similar things on our Warcraft server with acronyms like TBQH.
