ftw

[Misuzu]

Hi It's been awhile since I have even been on this site. But I have a question.



Well I wanted 2 know what ftw means. I think it means (for the win).
But there is another word some people think ftw means (**** the world).

Now I'm trying 2 make this as vague as possible but I just want 2 know if I should be insulted or not.

or if there is another meaning


(THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT THE OTHER MEANING PLEASE DON'T SAY IT)

Generally urbandictionary.com can settle these kinds of things, so if you see acronyms or phrases you don't know, a quick visit can usually sort you out :)

FTW, for example: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ftw (WARNING: Some profanity is to be expected on urbandictionary)

+10 to Tyranic for his helpful advice.

Here is my favorite resource (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=FTW) for such things.

I completely hate you. You beat me to it.

Anyways, according to Google, it means: Forschungszentrum Telekommunikation Wien (http://www.ftw.at/ftw/)

Ah, and google-wise apparently FTL means Faster-than-light.

That's what it was in Mass Effect! What else could it possibly mean?!

And Bing says that an example of a search related to "FTW" would be a search for "Family Tree Maker."

Wouldn't that make it FTM, then? Good lord, Microsoft technology sucks.

Wouldn't that make it FTM, then? Stop trying to use your book larnings. Microsoft knows best.
