pron is internet slang for porn. It started either as a way to go around world filters (like haxor), or a humorous typo that turned into an inside-joke and spread around the net (like pwn or FTW).

I thought FTW stood for "for the win". What is it a typo of?


That's what people use it for now, but the prevalent theory is that it started of as a typo, kept being used as a joke within the group where it first occured, and sooner or later spread all over the internets.

As a linguist in training and avid internet user, that explanation makes total sense to me. =P
