Last night we watched "Lone wolf McQuade" starring none other than Mr. Chuck Norris. I just want to say that after watching that it's official that Pwnd is latin for Chuck Norris

No that would be the verb form. The noun form which refers directly to Chuck is third and a half declension: pwnd pwndzorz. It's actually derived from the sound Emperor Nero made when Chuck roundhouse kicked him. In the junk.

i definitely remember the verb form: pwno pwnere - to roundhouse kick to the face
the noun form rarely appears in surviving manuscripts...it seems likely that most authors who attempted to use it suffered the same fate as Nero

Let us not forget "modus pwnens" the proper technique for roundhouse kicking someone in the junk.
Closely related is "modus ponens" an argument form in logical calculus. It was used so effectively against irrational thinking that it was compared favorably with "modus pwnens."
Conversely modus ponens has been utilized in irrational arguments as well. The story of Achilles and the tortoise popularized by Lewis Carroll wherein the tortoise employs a wily misuse of modus ponens against the hero Achilles is immortalized in the Led Zeppelin song "Achilles Last Stand" an epic composition which we can all agree pwns.
