rofl = roll on floor laughing (option mao - my ass off) - came from IRC days as an abreviation similar to lol (laugh out loud)
pwned = purposeful mispelling of owned, probably originated by someone f*cking up. Comes from the gaming community eg. owned you, pnwed you
teh = same as above
see also !!!111 (took the shift off too early)

1. Rolling On the Floor Laughing. (Basically something VERY funny).
2. Because they're retards that can't see the O next to the P. I personally always see that deliberate miss-spell as saying "pawned", which in turn leads me to, "so did you sell him to cash converters then"?
3. Honest spelling mistake. Also deliberatly spelt like that when making the other person look like a moron. As in: "you win teh prize!!11"

Actually it's pronnounced pun'd. the pu as in put. A lot of people reckon it's pronnounced pawned but they too agree its pund after watching the myg0t video 
It started with someone trying to say owned but missed the o and hit p and went on from there.

A school created one that we cherish is LoLz McROFL
