The word pwning came about when extreme gamers, who were in the heat of extreme gaming, typed "you got owned". of course, misspelling it because a pro gamer has no time to worry about silly things like correct spelling when they are killing noobs left and right.

Such as the saracasm tag (</sarcasm>), the </pwned> tag represents, that some one has been pwned in a live chat or internet forums. The "</" and ">" come from html talk used on .html, pages for internet websites.
"Haphazardly: Hey man you suck! And your girlfriend was a ho!, </pwned>"
