1. "Pwned" is a variation on the word owned and means something to the same effect but to a worse degree. Pwned came about as part of 1337 because "P" comes after "O" in the alphabet (and on a qwerty keyboard) therfore to be "pwned" is worse than being "owned". Contrary to what many beleive, this is the true origin of the word.

In 1967 the main guy off of the A Team (Hannibal?) found some plutonium in his jeep and he sanded it down and made it into the shape of a gun, which he fired often, but never actually hit anyone with it. Face and B.A. got in a fight over who got to hold it while Hannibal guy smoked his huge ass ceegar, until Murdock shouted out,"if you guys dont give me that Palm Wielded Nuclear Energy Device I will come over there and act all crazy RIGHT IN YOUR FACES!" So they stopped fighting, because they didnt like it when Murdock went crazy. They got dominated. They got owned. They got PWNED!
give me that PWNED, or the radiation will pwn you. Fool.

Meaning "pure ownage", often used to describe how well a gamer defeats another gamer. Also has references to the game of chess where a pawn is the weakest piece on the board and easily taken. May also have origionated from a misspelling of the word owned, the p and o are together on the keyboard - however this is not a definition!
The weak character was PWNED by the strong character, the weak character died within a few seconds and it was very funny (to a gamer).
