You've all got the origins of most of the terms right, but none of you have got "pwned" yet. Allow a regular Counterstrike player and former script kiddy to illuminate you.
"Pweened" was once a somewhat popular post-victory text ejaculation. I assume it came from a combination of at least two semi-words, probably 'pounded' and 'winned', but that's just speculation. In any case, "pweened" never totally caught on, and once "Owned" came along, the two sort of merged into "pwned".
Most people pronounce "pwned" as just "owned" with a p sound in front of it. If you really want to distinguish yourself as the coolest kid on the block at a LAN party, be sure to rip out with a "pweened" and then recount this completely pointless story.
