pwned is owned with a p. It has evolved into meaning that whoever was pwned was completely dominated in a way that exceeds being merely owned. The word is popular in online gaming circles and message boards.
Some people believe it evolved from a creekster or flystripper attempt at typing owned but the origins are not clear.
Often used simply because you need to put something in the body of the text.
Are you mixing that up with QED? QED will be used when two people are arguing back and forth and one person feels that he or she has ended and won the argument. Kind of like saying "checkmate," "here endeth the lesson," or "I hate you and want you to die."
qed is latin for quod erat demonstrandum, meaning roughly, "dude, I just demonstrated my point and you are pwned"
