It was a deliberate reference to Robert Webb's Compare The Market advert
in which he illustrates that "Market" and "Meerkat" are different words, that are pronounced differently.

And the word you're looking for is "pwned".

Although that's not really a word.

I don't really understand the word "pwned" what it means or where it came from

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 1 Mar 2013, 8:53, Reply)

As I understand it, it is to 'owned' what 'teh' is to 'the'.

Yes it certainly will.

It's a mistype of "owned" from online gaming that's become a word in itself.

It is so genuinely cringeworthy to hear that I am compelled to agree with Nakers.

You read that right.

I also agree
anyone who says "something.com" when not referring directly to the actual website "something.com" is an annoying wanker.
