the P is next to the O on a typical English keyboard, often online players trying to type "owned" will erroneously type "pwned." This phenomenon known as "pwned" is a mistake that was often typed in competitive games such as counter-strike pre 1.6, quake 3, unreal tournament among other FPS titles. At first players would ridicule those that would type "pwned" after defeating an opponent, eventually it became so common it became a meme.
