First time i found it for this:
3. cameltoe
the front part of a girl's vagina as seen with a speedo on, or bathing suit, or something worn tightly around that area, that seems like a CAMEL's toe.
"oh, becky, look at her cameltoe, it is OUT THERE, yucck."

I think that it started because of a spelling error on a game. It was a massive online game, It should have said owned but because of the error it kept on saying pwned. And then it stuck and the story continues.................

What's this "my bad" business as well?

Apologies if I have, I thought it was intended as a joke in all honesty.
All these reasons about various coding and gangster talk seems a bit far fetched. Simple reason - people have fat fingers and press the wrong key.
