Poll: So, what does it truly mean?

[NoblePhilistineFox]

For the wolf!

I cant let you do that, Zyren fox
...
just thought I would put that in before someone else.
personally, I hate that meme, but Ive never had a good chance to use it.

OT:
I sure hope that it means "for the win", because otherwise Ive been saying some very sexual(and sometimes rascist) things by accident.

Never EVER heard it called Fuck the What. Did you hear that on MLIA or something where WTF took on the meaning With The Family and not just What the Fuck.

 

[Anarchemitis]

What the win?

 

[Marter]

I've only ever heard it as "For the Win"

 

[Snarky Username]

"Fuck the what" makes no sense. What is being fucked, and did it deserved to be fucked? Is it possible that "the what" represents something else? Perhaps it's a complex metaphor for the Iraq War, or maybe the genocide in Darfur. Or maybe it's just some person who couldn't find out what "FTW" stands for and decided to put their own words into it, regardless of sense-making. Like a mad lib.

I'm going with the latter.

For Totalitarian Winnebago's is what i always assumed it meant. Whats all this 'for the win' nonsense you young whippersnappers are yabbering on about.

 

[octafish]

fuck the world

Yesssss. Back in my day it was definitely Fuck The World, unless it stood for Frank T. Wells [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109765/]

Mickey Rourke FTW.

 

[SonicKoala]

Fuck the what? Who the hell says that? And furthermore, why would someone need an acronym for that? It's not as if it's a common phrase....

It's "For the win". End of story.

 

[Toar]

Fuck the World... in my dinosar years.

 

[quiet_samurai]

Fuck the what????

I have never heard of that before. Who the hell says that anyways?

 

[Billion Backs]

Use acronyms freely.

It could be "For the win" or "fuck the world" or anything.

But the more accepted and well known meaning is, of course, "For the win".

But the acronym can stand for whatever the fuck it wants.

 

[Tanfastic]

For the Wombats is what I always thought it was...

 

[Lineoutt]

its "fuck the world" durr

jk tho, thats what i used to think it means

 

[zehydra]

It's always been For The Win. However, before I knew this, I thought it was "Fuck the world"

 

[SoranMBane]

Depends on the context. If it's said just after something awesome happens, it's "for the win." If it's scribbled in sharpie on some punk kid's jacket, it stands for "fuck the world."

So, yeah

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

If you're an old school roughnut, it's Fuck The World

If you're a nethead, it's For The Win

 

[Citrus]

Most people who see FTW and don't know what it means assume it's "Fuck the..." something. It's not; it's always been, and always will be, for the win. People who insist it's anything else don't know what they're talking about.

 

[Kingtrue]

I used to use FTW as fuck the what. But when I typed FTW in moments of WTF, people didn't respond like I thought they would. Mainly their response was a confused one.

I stopped using it for anything other than for the win almost entirely.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

fuck the world

That is what I always thought it meant until I heard some people saying it in a christian Black Hawk Down server. Only other time I saw F.T.W. was a Tiger Army song, and there it did stand for "fuck the world".

 

[Yureina]

I prefer "For the win", though "Fuck the world" could work too. ;P
