FTW!
October 8, 2009
I had no idea what that little acronym meant until just a little while ago. Now I must use it with abandon.
This is how I am planning on greeting everyone this weekend. Just a little heads up.
(10 yr old son’s game last night where they tied the game with 5 seconds on the clock, and went on to win in overtime. It was very exciting, as you can tell.)

speaking of acronyms how about the one from Flow it Show it.
I was left speechless.
and as for this acronym FTW i must say we should use it everyday
October 8th, 2009 at 11:28 amI still do not know what it means. Yeah, I’m lame.
October 8th, 2009 at 11:33 amI feel SO much better than I wasn’t the only one! I saw this on Twitter this morning and thought “I should Google this because I have no clue”. Of course I thought for sure there had to be swear words encrypted in FTW and I won’t even touch on what I thought it meant. Congrats on an exciting win for the 10 y/o!
October 8th, 2009 at 12:11 pmThe first time I saw FTW on twitter it was in relation to my sister losing and then finding her purse, so I sussed out FTW must mean “found the wallet.” It turns out I was wrong.
October 8th, 2009 at 1:08 pmHmm. Good luck with that. I am so used to say WTF, that I would confuse the two.
October 8th, 2009 at 2:12 pmOhhh!!! I thought it was a reversal of WTF. Which reminds me, have you seen Modern Family? The dad is trying to prove how cool he is by defining all these acronyms when he says, “WTF: Why the face?”
Oh my god, I could die laughing at that!
October 8th, 2009 at 2:50 pmjust so you know, it also stands for “eff the world”. For the Win is definitely more popular right now and probably the only meaning that kids know, but my husband tells me it is a older punk music thing and he will always think of it as “eff the world”
October 8th, 2009 at 3:50 pmHmmm… and I thought that was just WTF backwards!
October 8th, 2009 at 4:28 pmMy husband was in the military and they had the phrase FTN. Well let’s just say the first two words weren’t For The. For a long time, I thought the internet was populated with a bunch of very bitter and angry people.
October 8th, 2009 at 5:18 pmImagine my relief!
And congrats to your son’s team
October 8th, 2009 at 5:19 pmMy friend’s husband is a biker and he has FTW on a tattoo and they told her mother that it was “Feed The Whales”. When it really means “F*@% The World”…just putting that out there! Have a great weekend.
October 8th, 2009 at 7:27 pmFor The Win!
October 8th, 2009 at 7:33 pmCareful, in some circles FTW stands for “4-letter-F-word” “The” “World”! I like you’re cleaner version much much better!! = )
October 8th, 2009 at 10:52 pmI’m afraid I have to join the ranks of those who always heard it in relation to F&*% the World …… clearly my thought process is not as cheerful as yours.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:12 amNew reader, lurker.. You are in Texas now!! FTW also means Fort Worth!
Really enjoy your stories!
October 9th, 2009 at 1:00 pmNot ride on the back…….learn to ride a motorcycle then get our own……yeah its fun! I did wait until my youngest was in college before I did it though……then went on a motorcycle vacation with my son and husband all on our own bikes!
FTW….for the win?
