    <h1>Pwn</h1> <h3 id="siteSub">From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3> (Redirected from Pwned)

    </td></tr></tbody></table> For other uses, including acronyms, see PWN.

    The slang term Pwn (see pronunciation note below), used primarily in the Internet gaming culture, means to own, have ownage over, and/or soundly defeat an opponent. It is sometimes used for taunting of an in-game enemy and gloating over victories. It can also be used, especially by non-gamers, in the context of getting "pwned" by The Man.

    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.

    The term was one of 16 to appear on the 2006 "List of Words and Phrases Banished from the Queen's English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness," released annually by Lake Superior State University.<sup id="_ref-0">[1]</sup>
    <table id="toc" summary="Contents"><tbody><tr><td><h2>Contents</h2> <span>[hide]</span></td></tr></tbody></table> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = "show"; var tocHideText = "hide"; showTocToggle(); } //]]> </script>

    <h2><span>Etymology</span></h2>
    The word "pwn" <sup id="_ref-about_0">[2]</sup><sup id="_ref-ms_0">[3]</sup> may have arisen and spread as a typo of the word "own", arising from the proximity of the 'p' and 'o' keys on a standard English keyboard; a phenomenon known as fat-finger. Sometime in the 1980's, along with the advent of the hacker phenomenon, "pwned" became a synonym for "hacked" or "taken over by exploitation of a vulnerability." The word "pwn" remains in use as Internet social-culture slang meaning: to take unauthorized control of someone else or something belonging to someone else by exploiting a vulnerability.

    <h2><span>Pronunciation</span></h2>
    Note: This page or section contains IPA phonetic symbols in Unicode. See International Phonetic Alphabet for a pronunciation key.

    Given the recent development of the word, and its primary use in written form only, there is no single accepted pronunciation of pwn; as w does not typically represent vowels in English, arguments about the "correct" pronunciation occur with relative frequency. Pronunciation is usually determined by personal preference and context. The two most common pronunciations are <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[o?n]</span> ("own," in reference to the original misspelling) and <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[po?n]</span> (as in "pone").

    Other variations include:
    • <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[poon]</span> (as in "harpoon")
    • <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[p??'o?n]</span> ("puh-own")
    • <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[pi'o?n]</span> ("pee-own")
    • <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[p?n]</span> ("pun")
    • <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[pwin]</span> ("pween")
    • <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[p??n]</span> ("pawn")
    • <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[pa?n]</span> (to rhyme with "gown")
    • <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[pw??'n?]</span> ("pwuh-nn")
    • <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[pwo?n]</span> ("pwone")
    • <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[pw?n]</span> ("pwin", rhyming with "win")
    • <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[p?w?n]</span> ("puh-wun")

    <h2><span>Quotations</span></h2>
    Some popular quotes involving "pwn" include:
    • The 2006 South Park episode, "Make Love, Not Warcraft," satirized the game World of Warcraft. In the episode, the word is pronounced <span title="Pronunciation in IPA">[po?n]</span> (pone), rhyming with "own."
      • "Looks like you're about to get pwned. Yeah!!!" - Eric Cartman (~20m 30s into episode)
      • "That was such ber-pwnage" - Kyle Broflovski (soon after above)
    • In Teen Girl Squad (see issue 10), "P喦ned" appears on the screen and is pronounced by Strong Bad as "Puh-owned! Or however you say that!" Later the derivative "P4wned" appears (referring to a pawnshop) and is pronounced "Puh-awned."
    • The Internet TV show Pure Pwnage claims that the word is pronounced "own," as it was a spelling mistake in the first place.
    • The vodcast Bikini News, in their episode Guide To Getting Your Crappy Video Seen Online!!!, states that by following their advice, "you'll 'pwn' all of us!"
