l33t is for elite or internet, used by computer people and now clue what the pwn is and 143 if I love you. i(1) love (4) you(3).

l33t means leet, interent.. eliete... Something along those lines
pwn means OWNED. Not a damn clue how that happened. Maybe it started from a type-o?
143= I love you. I = 1 letter (1) Love= 4 letters (4) you =3 letters (3).

"l33t" is another spelling for "leet" or "elite", which is an "internet" language used in chat rooms where letters are replaced by numbers and symbols, and words are commonly mispelled. ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location))
"pwn" means to own. The word evolved by the mispelling of own.
"143" is another way to say "I Love You"; the numbers represent how many letters are in each word.

1) 133t or |337 is an online language mostly used by computer geeks. it changes letters of words into numbers or characters that look the like the letter. for example.
"i am speaking leet" would be translated into "1 4m 5p34k1n6 |337", or in 'uber leet' "1 @|/| $|*3@|<1||6 |33+"
uber leet is much more complicated and is used by leet ha><orz.
Bill: Leet speak is for geeks.
2) PWN (verb)
1. An act of dominating an opponent.
2. Great, ingenious; applied to methods and objects.
Originally dates back to the days of WarCraft, when a map designer mispelled "Own" as "Pwn". What was originally supose to be "player has been owned." was "player has been pwned".
Pwn eventually grew from there and is now used throughout the online world, especially in online games.
1. "I pwn these guys on battlenet"
2. "This strategy pwns!" or "This game pwn."
3)143: A numerical representation of the expression 'I love you' where each of the three numbers represents the amount of letters in each of the words.
Used by couples with pagers as a code to constantly remind one another that they still are affectionate. (More commonly used before the wide spread availability of text-messaging cell phones)
My girl sent 143 to my beeper a thousand times yesterday - she really loves me.
Hope i help!
