Well I'm not sure on this, but if you look at your keyboard you will notice the letter P, and the letter O are right next to each other so that might have become a typo made popular. I think the same applies to the commonly mispelled "teh" instead of the. If that's what you meant by where it came from. It was made popular by online games and forums such as these.

Drooly is right, I always hear people saying it like he said on X-Box live and stuff. Plus I have wierd friends that say pohwned in real life.
