Pwn
Main articles: pwn and owned
Pwn refers to the domination of a player in a video game or argument (rather than just a win). For example, in a multiplayer first-person shooter game, a player with a default starting gun defeats an opponent carrying a vastly superior weapon. This would indicate dominant skill in the player with the inferior weapon, who outplayed (pwned) the player with superior firepower. As is a common characteristic of Leet, the term has also been adapted into an adjective, pwnage, indicating the superiority of its subject (i.e. “She is a very good player. She is pwnage.”).
There are several commonly accepted theories about its origin, most of which suggest derivation from the word own. The word pwn is pronounced the same as the common English word own, though it is sometimes pronounced pohn or pawn. The most obvious of these theories is that pwn is a simple misspelling of the word own (since p is adjacent to o on QWERTY keyboards), but there are other plausible theories.
A few theories state that pwn originates from “player own,” “power own,” or “perfectly own”[citation needed]; alternatively, since the letter P is one letter further along in the alphabet than the letter O, using pwn rather than own means that one has beaten his opponent to a higher degree than own. Another theory is that the term came into being through the misspelling of the word pawn, pawn being the lowest prized chess piece.[citation needed] Therefore, when one has pwned someone, one has placed him or her in the lowest standing. However, even this word has been purposefully used as p4wn3d, as in, “I p4wn3d you.”
Another theory is based on BBS speak, where the text :p is usually seen as a smiley sticking it's tongue out. Users would type :pwned and when the program rendered :p, it would show up as a round face, standing in for the o.
All theories denote the excess victory over the other player's opponent.
Variations on the word include pwnt, pwnd, pwnz0red, pwnx0r3d, pwnihilation, pwnz0rz, pwn3d, pwnm45t3r, wtfpwn, and pooned.
n00b
Main article: newbie
Within Leet, the term n00b (and derivations thereof) is used extensively. The word, meaning newbie (as in, new and inexperienced or uninformed), is used as a means of segregating the “elite” members of a group from outsiders. There have been other variations of the term. For example, nubcake (often spelled nubcaek), naab (from the pakistani accent), and n00blet (a n00b who is, or acts like, a child).
Though they are often used interchangeably, there is a widely accepted separation of the definitions of newb and n00b: a newb is a person who is new to something, while a n00b is a detestable or inferior person. It is used in a derogatory sense, inferring the target is being ignorant of his or her own failures, blaming others without reason, failing to learn, etc. Example: “Player one is a newb because he joined the game yesterday. Player two is a n00b, because he has owned the game for a year and still can't win.”
In primitive Leet, as used on BBS systems in the 1980s and into the very early 1990s, the usual term was greenie which was derived from the cowboy slang greenhorn. A variant was Christmas greenies which referred to the phenomenon where BBS systems were flooded with new members immediately following Christmas and Hanukkah because modems were a common holiday gift. If the greenie was young, the term ruggie (derived from rugrat meaning child) might be used. The term greenie is also used in the MMORPG Everquest to refer to monsters far below the level of the player. If a player considers fighting a monster, the monster's returning text is green to indicate the monster's inferiority. The term is also used on the MMORPG Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates to refer to new players, whose names appear green until they have played for some time.
Suxxor or sux0rz
Suxxor (pronounced suhk-zohr) is a derogatory term which originated in warez culture and is currently used in multi-user environments such as multiplayer video games and instant messaging. The word is a modified version of the phrase “to suck”, and the meaning is the same as the English slang. It is the contrapositive of roxxor.
There are two main uses: as a verb and a noun. Using the word as a verb, one could say, “Dude, that suxxorz!”, meaning, “That sucks. It is not good.” Using the word as a noun, one might say, “You are the suxxor.”, meaning “You are a bad person; you are bad at what you do.” Literally translated, this means, “you are the suck,” but it could also mean, “you are a sucker (i.e. fool).” The two variations appeared independently: the verb version is antonymous to roxxor (Leet for “to rock”), and the noun could be a counterpart to haxor (Leet for hacker).
Suxxor is one of the early Leet words to use the -xor word-ending.
FTW
FTW is not actually Leet, because none of its letters have been transposed into other characters; however, it is often used in Leetspeak and is therefore noteworthy.
FTW is short for “For the Win,” which is used in reference to something powerful that helps one win. It is commonly used in conjunction with a noun that a person feels the need to advocate—such as “Notepad FTW.” Similarly, an argument or retort can be declared FTW if one feels one's comments were particularly damaging, sarcastic, or funny.
FTW can also be used to describe something that the user feels is worthy of admiration. The object in question usually has something to do with the person using it. For example, a gamer who is fond of playing a mage character might say “Mages FTW.”
Conversely, FTL has come around with the opposite meaning: “For The Loss/Lose.”
The origins of this phrase may have been from the gameshow Hollywood Squares, where it was customarily used when choosing the potentially winning square.
FTW is also used in some cases as a modifed version of WTF, an acronym for “What the ****?” (FTW meaning, “**** the what?”).
FTW is also used to mean “**** the world” (i.e. the group or conversation in which one is participating or the server on which one is playing).

GG
GG is similar to FTW in that it isn't actually Leet but is actually an acronym; however its high popularity among gamers and the online population warrant its inclusion.
GG stands for "Good Game", usually spoken by players after a game is over or has reached the point where the outcome is certain. It is usually a sign of good sportsmanship and appreciation for the other players' skills. It can also be used in non-gaming environments, such as simple argumentative conversations.
