Lol, I just found this article by Microsoft which tells parents how kids speak:
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/children/kidtalk.mspx
It's funny, it's got all the 1337 speak and stuff:
| Quote: | • "warez" or "w4r3z": Illegally copied software available for download.
• "h4x": Read as "hacks," or what a computer hacker does.
• "pr0n": An anagram of "porn," possibly indicating the use of pornography.
• "sploitz" (short for exploits): Vulnerabilities in computer software used by hackers.
• "pwn": A typo-deliberate version of own, a slang term used to express superiority over others that can be used maliciously, depending on the situation. This could also be spelled "0\/\/n3d" or "pwn3d," among other variations. Online video game bullies or "griefers" often use this term.
|
| Quote: |
• "n00b," "noob," "newbie," or "newb": Combinations synonymous with new user. Some leetspeekers view "n00b" as an insult and "newbie" as an affectionate term for new users.
• "w00t" or the smiley character \o/: A common interjection, analogous to "woohoo!" or victory in a game.
• "roxx0rs" Used in place of "rocks," typically to describe something impressive.
• "d00d": Replaces the greeting or addressing someone as a "dude."
• "joo" and "u": Used instead of "you." This is also commonly written as "j00" or "_|00."

Now you d00ds can all learn teh roxx0rs 1337 sp34k

Quip: “1 PWN J00.”
Translation: “I own you!”
Quip: “1 r0x0r J00”
Translation: “I rock you.”
Quip: “OMG you’re so lame just quit and cry to your mommy! ROTFLMAO”
Translation: “Oh my God! You’re so lame. You should just quit and go cry to your mommy. I’m rolling on the floor and laughing my ass off because you’re so bad!” |

I heard that there was a game where one of the official maps was meant to say own, but the guy making it made a typo and said pwn, so everyone started using it
