Revision as of 23:46, 26 August 2005 by 81.86.208.23 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)- This article is about the acronym as used in MMORPG's, for other meanings of ftw please see Ftw (disambiguation)
FTW is an initialism meaning For The Win, or sometimes; For Teh Win. Both are commonly used in gaming, especially MMORPGs.
Much like w00t, it originated as a gaming term. It usually meant something that helped in the goal of winning, and therefore was "for the win". These days it is more broadly used as meaning, a good/beneficial thing.
In forums and chat rooms it is a common misspelling of the acronym WTF, or What The Fuck. Short for Fuck The What. Sometimes deliberately posed as a question.
FTW is also the Amtrak station code for Fort Worth, Texas.
