Pwnd / PWN3D / owned = i own you, i got the best of you, i whooped your butt soo bad you are now my servant.
old internet thing hackers said.
L33t / 1337 / elite = i am the best in the world at given task
haxxor / hax0r / hacker = hacked. hax0r was a flag to enable cheat codes on some old games, deus ex i am sure of, but i was told it goes back further.
suxxor / sux0r / suxxor = sucks. as in that is the suckiest thing ever it "sux0r"
teh / the = the. dyslecix way of typing, as in ym case i do it all the time by accident. people intentionally put it in to sound like a script kiddie, or general moron.
script kiddie, 12-14 year old kid on AOL who thinks he's cool, visits warez sites, and tries to "hack" other AOL pc's and send malicious "scripts" through messenger programs to cause harm to the recievers PC.
the whole letten number subistitution thing started a long time ago, when real hackers tried to mask what they were saying to confuse anyone who might be spying.
all of it has morphed into what it is today, basically an intardent sub language.
