Misspelled words are kind of an internet meme that grew out of fps gaming, starting around the quake era and really growing with half-life (more specifically counter-strike).

That’s likely your best bet anyways 😉

We use this when we beat someone and ‘take’ the game…

This is the technical definition….

“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.” Hope this helps…
