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. The total ownage and/or complete shutdown of a person, place, or thing.
Derived from the word "owned" but is much cooler and more widely used.
It was created because of an idiot who can't spell "owned" (and so therefore he was pwned)

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>"
