Did I miss some crazy new internet fad?

[abrojtm]

People have been saying it for months, but what does FTW mean? Is it supposed to be like backwards WTF or something? If so, I am adamantly against it.

Also where did it come from?

What do you think of FTW?

[Christmas]

FOR THE WIN!!???

[Resha]

I really do use it as fuck the what. It's so much more expressive than what the fuck. :p

[Hambone]

ftw i think means wtf backwards. I don't really use it.

[Yamaneko]

Free The Whales. Greenpeace is really active on these forums.

[bipper]

QFT is worse. I HATE QFT. QFT means "quit fucking trying" to me. Though people here seem to use it for "quoted for truth" :rolleyes2

Really makes it hilarious when you see someones post quoted with a trailing QFT.

QFT

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

Dude, come on. It's not funny if you do it to yourself.
Obviously someone was going to come along and think he's a wiseguy and "quote it for truth" for you.

Also, double posting is illegal. I'm telling.

[kikimm]

I hate it. I WISH WE HAD NEVER MET

I hate hate hate "QFT". I think it's worse than zomg, and zomg was really bad. I don't mind ftw as much. I used to be in a linkshell called WtfFtw. :p

[Craig]

zomg your so right, qft

miriel ftw

had to be done

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I can't tell you how often "tl;dr" comes to mind. Particularly in EoEO.

[bipper]

"tl;dr" happens to be one of my email filters at work :) Anything is too long (I think I have it set at 100 characters) it gets binned. I refuse to read long pointless emails :cool:

[Shoden]

;x. ZOMGWTFLOLBBQ QFTFTW.

For the Win rocks.

[MageLuingil]

Heh, when I first saw it, I thought "qft" meant "Quite Smurfing True" ... I eventually looked it up though :P

[Reine]

I hate hate hate "QFT". I think it's worse than zomg, and zomg was really bad. I don't mind ftw as much. I used to be in a linkshell called WtfFtw. :p

QFT

Anyway, I even say "fuck the what" in reality at times xD, and even zomg, zomfg, and I often take the piss out of the term by saying "ZOMGARIOUS!"

[drunkymonkey]

LOL!11!111! It's been around for years. INTERNETS FTW!!!!!!!

[AdVenT]

I have an idea what it means nbut i'll probably get banned if i say it.:p

[-N-]

That's what the filters are for, dear.

[abrojtm]

I think there's some sort of class about internet slang at my college.

[Dreddz]

FTW for the win !

[drunkymonkey]

FTW FTW! don't you mean?

[Peegee]

TLDR is a pet peeve of mine. People are too stupid nowadays

QFT

[feona17]

I just use plain old WTF.. and I'll say smurf once in a while, but all that other crap is lame.

[I Took the Red Pill]

FTW just annoys the hell out of me, but I'll agree with most people and say QFT is so much worse.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

It's beyond me how you kids can let such minor stuff get to you.

[Hawkeye]

As you were saying, kishi?

[Venom]

Most internet fads are stupid.

As you were saying, kishi?The ghastly visage of Daniel Towns is not a laughing matter, son.

[VoodooChild]

;x. ZOMGWTFLOLBBQ QFTFTW.

For the Win rocks.

[Tempest]

I still have no idea what ZOMG means. That one annoys me more the QFT or FTW.

[41-Inches-Wide]

ZOMG is patterned from Shaggy + Internet Meme, which equaled to Zoinks Oh My God.

I HATE 'LOL'.
It sounds so fake.

[Yuffie514]

Q: What do you think of FTW?

i take it as WTF spelled backwards, used in a derrogative way...

[Jojee]

ftw is okay, I don't use qft but I figured out what it was~ zomg is horrible. ^_^

[fantasyjunkie]

It's beyond me how you kids can let such minor stuff get to you.
QFT :D

QFTMorons use tl;dr to piss other people out, because they think they're being clever. No-one has really told them that they're not.

[Jojee]

wth is tldr? ;o

Anyway people typing things doesn't get to me so much as them saying it. I went home from college for a weekend and was talking to my brother, and he kept going "This is so sick!" "And that was totally sick!" "Oh man, look at this, it's so sick." "This game is sick!" and ALL the time and it annoyed me so much >=o I was like, no it's not SICK you're sick you sicko bah! *punch* xD

[drunkymonkey]

too long; didn't read.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Morons use tl;dr to piss other people out, because they think they're being clever.Or, you know, because something was too long, so they didn't read it.

[drunkymonkey]

Morons use tl;dr to piss other people out, because they think they're being clever.Or, you know, because something was too long, so they didn't read it.The only times I have read it is when someone is trying to rage another person. tl:dr is such a short abbreviation that it is very hard for the other person who wrote the 'too long' piece not to feel a bit annoyed.

[boris no no]

Its only the internet.. O_o
I think its worse if people actually bring it into the real world shouting WTF OMG ROFL and ASL down the streets of Birmingham *sigh* we must have started a fad

[NorthernChaosGod]

FTW = For The Win

I try not to use any of the internet acronyms, but they slip sometimes. I usually just type things out.

[Moon Rabbits]

The only acronyms I use are "omg wtf lol", and all at the same time because it is hilarious.

I use QFT occasionally, and dislike FTW. ._.

[Rocket Edge]

this seems like the appropriate thread to post in..

what does IMHO mean?

[Shauna]

In my honest opinion.

The H can change. ;D

[Sylvie]

I thought it was In My Humble Opinion? Hm, either works.

[drunkymonkey]

They're just highly ambigious, and it's useless to try and figure out which is the right one, because you won't find out at all.

[NeoCracker]

I tend to not use accronyms unless I'm feeling extremely lazy. Like now, since I dont want to scroll up to the post that has acronyms spelled correctly which I could use to correct my own spelling in this post.

[Old Manus]

wtf does wtf mean

EDIT: That sucked. Sorry.

[drunkymonkey]

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

The only internet acronym I ever use is lol. And I hardly ever use that.

[NeoCracker]

I just realized they removed the LOL. filter.

There was a filter? Wow.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]
