| | Pwn - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography |
 | | The slang term pwn (past tense pwned, pwnd or pwnt, various pronunciations) as used by the Internet gaming culture, means to dominate an opponent. |
 | | Instead, it is assumed that it simply began to spread as a result of fast typing, due to the proximity of the P and O keys on most modern keyboard layouts, and the tendency of gamers and net users to create and expand internet memes. |
 | | Another way of deriving pwn from own is by jokingly stating that P is the next letter after O, alphabetically, and in that way poses as some sort of higher level — so pwn is a kind of superlative own. |
