1. To pwn oneself.

2. (In a gaming sense) To commit suicide by mistake.

ORIGIN

Created by Mic, Justin, and Mike during a trip to Ohio in July of 2005.

Cornpone is actually cornbread made without milk or eggs. But this has no connection to a cornpwn, so don't try to make one. Do all words have to have a deep meaning behind them? :-P
Used when a plan, plot, or action towards someone or something else backfires, and the originating person/thing gets pwned instead of its target.

(In reference to a game player who just blew himself up while trying to eliminate another player) "That guy just got cornpwned!"

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
