What is Pwn You Ask?

Pwn is a slang term that implies domination or humiliation of a rival, used primarily in the Internet gaming culture to taunt an opponent that has just been soundly defeated.

Pwn may have sprung from the similar term "owned". Examples include "pwnage" or you just got pwned". It can also be used, especially by non-gamers, in the context of getting "pwned" by The Man. It is also a variant of the expression "you got served" which is also used to describe someone or something that has either lost badly or been humiliated (or possibly both).

In Internet security jargon, to "pwn" means "to compromise" or "to control", specifically another computer (server or PC), web site, gateway device, or application; it is synonymous with one of the definitions of hacking. An outside party who has "owned" or "pwned" a system has obtained unauthorized administrative control of the system.

The word "pwn" may have arisen and spread as a common typo of the word "own," due to the proximity of the 'p' and 'o' keys on a standard English keyboard. [1][2] Alternatively, the word pwnage may have been created as a portmanteau of the words "pure" and "ownage."
