WTF is it? a typo?

I'm just a pretty simple australian guy and i know we're pretty slow over here (sorry i was born that way), but wtf is pwned?

Is it owned with a 'p'?
pawned?
prawned?

Im all up for txt abbreviations, like c u later, r u ok, ub6ib9 etc
When people change letters just for the hell of it or because it is "cool" eg gurl, boi, lyk etc, for some reason it shits me, i have no idea why, maybe i am just old and need a chill pill.

Chloe, thanks heaps, i am so clear on it now :P, there are 185 posts on urban dictionary, all arguing what it means, the one clear thing i get is they all want to pwn each other.
I actually think post 6 about pawning sounds viable.

Pinks, wait till i get my hands on you, we'll see who is pwned then :P

barmat, the first explanation is almost correct, this is the correct one

A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an game called Warcraft 2, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."



this is similar origin to the phrase "all of your base are belong to us"

It's oldschool and nowadays wannabe-oldschool slang.
