The headline on Ozzie's blog on Daily Kos, (linked below) brings a new word to some of us: 'Pwns.' Yes, pwns! ...huh? It's a [video]gamers' term for an act of triumph. See definitions below from the Dictionary of Slang:

pwned: Past tense. To have seized complete control over something or someone.

pwnage: Ownage. The word 'own' is often used in the gaming world. When people type quickly, they make more typos. Pwnage is one of them, because the O is right next to the P. Eventually, the habit turned into an actual statement used.

Pronunciation: POE-nidge
Example: This is total pwnage. I pwned you.
