I kept wondering why someone would be talking about something in a positive light and then add the old "1%er" phrase F*ck The World" - as in


1911's forever FTW!!!! One!!!


It took me a long time to realize that those letters translate to For The Win!

I must be old school, biker trash, or something else.

Damn kids.

Nope... Mom helps from above now , but she could twirl a mean wrench in her day.

I figure she and Dad are finally getting that to that road trip they'd talked about.

thats kind of harsh, my tag on my old school bmw is ftmfw.  Well you get the point.  I got pulled over once and the officer asked if it stood f#ck the Mother f#cking world.  I laughed and told him no.  He let me go after that.

Funny, I never heard "fuck the world" as FTW.  First time I recall ever seeing "FTW" as an acronym for anything was here as "for the win".  

I'm 39, btw.  (that's by the way, for you old guys)

It used to mean “fuck the world” but the planet fuckers forgot to renew its TLA registration with the ARA (Acronym Registration Agency). Available TLAs are getting scarce and someone had FTW it reregistered to mean “for the win.”

I figured out FTW, I know what QFT is, but what about OST? I forgot where that ARFCOM abbreviations page is, and this is not standard internets talk.
I'm 53, but I have been on the net since about 1985 or so, when there was only BBs? And you needed to know Unix language to up load and down load stuff. Modem, at like 32 baud or so

"For the win" appears to have morphed from the old Hollywood Squares (Jeopardy! for retards) saw of "I'll take Jim Bob Bullock for the win!"

The gamers and 4chaners took it from there.

I am 38 and prior to six months ago, FTW = "fuck the world" as far as I knew.

Maybe eight months. Within the last year, anyway.

I used to think it meant F**k The World...at least in a book I read that was about coming of age in the early 90's, FTW stood for F**K the World.

That's why when I first saw it here, I did a double-take.

Hey, Fidonet!

I remember waiting for the upload/download connects so you could see what folks in parts afar thought of your comments.

300b, later 1200 <smokin'!> w00t!

Ask most folks what CP/M stands for and they say that's the Gold robot in Star Wars...
