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.

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)

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

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>"
