The day 'pwned' gets into the proper dictionaries of the world is the day civilization ends.

Yup.

Stupid theory, "oh one guy made the kind of typo everybody is prone to do when drunk, and have probably made since the first keyboard saw the light of day, ah yes he must have invented it".

If we can do that I wanna' make sure everybody knows who invented the l33t drunkeness I was spurting a while ago. I made lots of those awesome typos.

Oh n' capt azzhole, I think that was kind of an insult. Should have kept it simple and not gone with "simplistic".

a word invented by Al Gore when he created the internet, and thus internet gaming. it is the same as owned but to a higher level. P is 1 letter after O in the alphabet. owned < pwned (and theoretically) < qwned < rwned < etc. etc.
