I always assumed it meant fuck the world. Crazy optimist that I am. I was very leery of seeing this tag on my 11 yr old nephew's Instagram page. I then was told it could also mean "for the win". I guess I'm not a huge sports guy cause I had no idea.

Free taco Wednesday would be my preference though.

@Mark Bee @Rob I For the Win is a gamer term that came from the advent of mmorpgs and is still used as a term of encouragement and approval among gamers and nerds. Among tattooers and bikers, the term has generally meant Fuck the World.

@Pugilist I'm on it!!! Say, it's Wednesday, isn't it... ;D

I always read it as "Fuck The World" which these days usually means that I read things like "Look at this video of a kitten riding a Roomba FUCK THE WORLD". Everyday surrealism is great.

THISSSSSSS!!!

I always knew it as "fuck the world". Imagine my confusion for a very long time. Seriously, thought there were some really stuck up people out there. For instance:

Them: My child is an honor role student at ___. FTW!

Me: Piss off! Are you telling the world to fuck off cuz of your brat?! YOU PIECE OF SHI...!!!

Oops.

I remember some guy my wife worked with several years ago telling me about this great new acronym he heard about, FTW: For the Win. I tried to tell him that it meant Fuck the world and that there were a whole lot of bikers with FTW tattoos that would agree with me. HE still didn't get it though. To be fair he was a bit tipsy and a total yuppie so he had prolly never even considered the Fuck the World concept.
