pwn

Originally, an old-school hacker term meaning "to gain control over someone else's computer/network by hacking thier root account and assigning yourself 'admin' permissions", which has more recently been mis-appropriated by script kiddies and gamers to indicate that they are better at a game than someone else, or some stupid shit like that.
None. Real hackers don't actually use the word themselves, it is always used by someone else *about* them.

Pwn

To totally own someone.

A mispelling of "own", since p is next to o on the keyboard.

pwn

Pronunciation: 'pOn

The word that resulted from a typo of OWN. Notice the P is next to the O. Pronounced "p-own." It is not pronounced pween, poon, or pawn. Those are all created by noobs who couldn't figure out what the word was and made up their own pronunciation for it.

Origin is similar to that of teh.

uhh...no noob its new word. even worse than owned.

pwn

Quite obviously a typo for own. If you have a qwerty keyboard then you will notice that the p and the o are next to each other. Our ancestor (1 generation ago) used the word own quite commonly but over time people got the impression that the typo pwn was actually a word. If you think about it the words own and pwn can be used in the same contex.
