I'm usually so good at the acronyms

What the heck does FTW mean?  And I know that as soon as somebody tells me I'm going to smack my head and go, "Doh"!

Re: I'm usually so good at the acronyms

  • I THINK its 'for the win' but if have to see the context to be sure.

  • I think it has 2 meanings, depending on the context.

    Around the nest, I think it usually means "For The Win", like "this is the best answer yet". 

    Historically, though, it was more like "F*ck the World" (more replaced these days my FML/F*ck My Life). 

    So, it depends.   

  • I would have never guessed that.  Thanks!!

  • the only way I know it is for the win:)
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I use it all the time as "For the Win!".... they say it all the time on sports center, so I blame hubs. Anything that I get happy about gets a "FTW". Ex: I go to starbucks and get a pumpkin spice latte = Pumpkin Spice FTW!

    Yea, I'm a geek. LOL.
