FTW! When did it go from 'f**k the world' to 'for the win'??

I seriously did not know that it turned into 'for the win'. Sounds pretty milque-toasty to me.

it never fuck the world

i originally thought it was "fuck the what" like you're so confused you cant even type WTF correctly. but it's always been for the win.

FTW FTL

old school punk rockers used to get FTW tattooed on them for 'fuck the world'.

yeah but they werent on the internet

i just realised i've spent the last 6 years thinking FTW was just a WTF backwards; that if something is really WTF, then in your WTFness you end up spelling WTF backwards. damn fucking stupid internet.

i thought it was 'fot the wuck' actually, but my brother informed me that it was for teh win ..

that's the problem with these acronyms actually. causing all this acrimony with their open endedness, and only for the incrowd clarity.

lol you guys suck

kokoon ftw! take that how ever you like.

In this kind of situation, Urban Dictionary FTW!

Hahaha, the thought of all the old school punks stuck with for the win tatoos makes me giggle inside.

For the win, For the lose, Fail, Epic, all that shit is retarded. I thought it came from World of Warcraft.

FML

agreed, except i consider PWN the most retarded. i have never said PWN or owned in my life

i used to think QFT was some kind of super confused FTW (fuck the waht) with added typo (Q)

I learned all of these from watmm i reckon.

five tiny wieners

i can't find it now but i made a thread a month ago saying that i thought FTW was WTF backwards. watmm search isnt helping but it also discussed QFT too.

it wasn't as important then

FTW originally meant fuck the world.

as has already been said.

people who dispute this really have been using the internet too fucking much
