The word "pwn" (pronounced "pone") originated in Muse Magazine as a typo. The phrase intended was "pwnt owns," pwnt being a recurring character in the comic at the bottom of the pages (these characters being called Muses). The word "pwn" sat around for about three years, and then swiftly replaced its more correct counterpart. Officially, this is not a word, but it is commonplace.
