Today’s word of the now is “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.

I always thought it was pronounced “pawned” as in the chess piece. “You suck so much, you’re a pawn.”
“Powned” is how the youngsters around me pronounce it. And yes, Kim WAS Pwned to a fair thee well. Then again I’ve never been a fan so perhaps I enjoyed the pwn’age more than others.
As in so many things, wikipedia makes for a good reference.
