What does "PWN" mean?

what does it mean? because I’ve seen people right something like “bob pwns”…

Answer #1

this is a typo of “own” which was first seen at WOW (world of warcraft) when this guy said something about owning but mispelled it as pwning. basically the same thing as own just a typo…that stuck like perfectimperfection1010 had said.

Answer #2

I have seen that a lot before too. I don’t understand why a typo stuck? And how is it used around the world? Where was the typo seen at?

Answer #3

Like amblessed said, it means own. But the whole reason it became PWN instead of OWN was a simple mistake. Someone made a typo and it stuck. It’s kind of funny actually.

Answer #4

its when you inflict embaresment upon someone and then say pwned.

Answer #5

PWN = Own, as in dominate in online gaming

Answer #6

pwn means own, that’s right, the reason why it’s used is because gamers like to say they can own someone, meaning they can conquer them, or kick their… rears… but said in a way that they won’t get banned from the website for life LOL
