Slang Term
I know this is really stupid...but some people have been saying things like "PWNED NOOB." or "I PWN U." What does that mean exactly? Especially the word Pwn?
I'll rate and thanks.

There's loads of different pronunciations!
It has now become a major part of my vocabulary, sadly enough...

noob is a word for new...like newbie...but far beyond. its an insult. =D

Yes thats correct. I belive that pwn and pwned came about because they were frequently mistyped that way. If you take a game like counterstrike, which is largely responsible for a lot of online developments, you had very little time to type. You would see the typo pwn quite often in the old days if memory serves (before it became "offical"). It makes sense, the P is right next to the O, and because you are moving your fingers outwards fast you have a tendency to overshoot.
As for "noob" its far worse than newbie. Its a combinatÃon of retard and newbie. It strongly implies you are some sort of loser. I really hate it when people fling that sort of crap around, ruins the game. One of the bad things about the internet really, people can get away with saying anything to you. In my day, you had to do it face to face, which made retalliation a bit easier :)
