I've assumed for a while that FTW was an acronym for 'For The Win' but now Sin is telling me she believes it is just WTF (What The *Expletive*) inverted. What do you think FTW ish?

It's for the win, but some people one day saw it, and, not wanting to make a fool of themselves by asking, assumed it was wtf backwards. The rumor has been spreading around that it's that has spread ever since, and people are split on the subject.

I use it in a variety of ways.
Mainly, though, I find myself using it as a substitute of "BTW," By the Way. I don't know why, I just do. neutral

If FTW is just WTF backwards, like lots of people think, instead of for the win... then what would be the meaning of FTL? surely, if FTL is for the lose, FTW would be for the win, no?

I think it was supposed to be For the Win, but now it's become sorta like what "pwn" is now.

I've only ever used it as "for the win" because...everything else is just stupid to me.
Why the hell would someone invert WTF? Srsly.

Uta Arashi I've only ever used it as "for the win" because...everything else is just stupid to me. Why the hell would someone invert WTF? Srsly. Well... maybe for a similar reason that "the" became "teh" Well... that was more of a mistype methinks... hitting the "e" key before the "h" key (i've done it by accident many MANY times...) Whereas inverting "wtf" to "ftw" is kinda... intentional... but it might have been done to look something like "teh" But, I digress. I don't really think that when whoever came up with "ftw" meant it to be an inverted "wtf" However, since enough people use it to mean an inverted wtf... it would qualify as meaning that... but it could also mean the original "for the win"... That's why I like to use it "in context" x_x
stupid english class... ._.
