To Own.

Owned, pwnd, pwn, pwned, ownd, own, ownage, pwnage, pwnt, ownt, powned, own3d, pwn3d, served , pawnedpooned, pwning.

All above originate from "owned".
Pwn is a leetspeak slang term derived from the verb "own", as meaning to appropriate or to conquer to gain ownership. The term implies domination or humiliation of a rival, used primarily in the Internet gaming culture to taunt an opponent who has just been soundly defeated (e.g., "You just got pwned nub c4k3!").
The character 'o' is next to the character 'p' on the keyboard. It was formed when some anonymous original party accidentally hit the 'p' for the word "OWNED".  Popularity of the term among teenagers rose in the mid-2000s, with the spread from the Internet written form to use in spoken language.

  1. I'm a little confused about the spelling on this garment. A certain someone schooled their Media Studies teacher in the spelling of "Noob Cake" or "N00b c4k3" or soemthing... and then went and posted this! Tut tut.
