Apparently some people interpret it at Lots of Laughs as well.

The “P” is a deliberate typo used for ironic effect. On its deepest level it is sort of a legacy insult towards script kiddies, but if that sentence doesn’t make sense to you then suffice to say that it is a somewhat self-effacing comment to say that you PWNED someone. You are being self aware and ironic when you pwn.

Maybe people don’t KNOW that anymore and so they aren’t being self-aware or ironic at all, but that’s where it comes from. You are SUPPOSED to be mimicking the retarded assholes on XBOX live or Battle.net or wherever.
