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.

Gamer: "you just got pwned"
*gamer keeps killing*

Get the PWNEDmug. An intentional mispelling of 0wned, so as to cause even more humiliation to the person who has been "0wned."

Get the pwnedmug. 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>"

Get the </pwned>mug. A corrupted version of the word "owned", this..."word"...has been plagueing internet space since the day some nerd accidently hit the "P" key instead of the "o" to display owned. its definition is unknown, as only the retarded can say it, but it is believed to mean "I have no place in Internet gaming".
"Dude I just pwned you hardcore!" *gunshots from every direction*
"Dude I was pwned!" *gunshots from every direction*
"I hate it when people use the word "Pwned" *gunshots from every direction*
