What does FTW mean?

I know this may sound stupid or newbish but can someone tell me what it means

FOR TEH WINtroyo90

OKAY??? now what that phrase is for???

(Phrase) Typically used to indicate how good some action is. Also used in seemingly random intervals to indicate your lack of sleep and sanity. Used in contrast with "for the loss."

Ziat looted some really ugly shoulderpads for the win.

Klub sat on a bench... for the win.

Sourball needs all new gear for the win.

Also, Shotgun to the face... FTW!

It's great for Halo/COD/Gears matches. If people are bothering you that is. Don't be an a-hole.

its pretty much the most annoying and immature phrase you could ever use.... i dont like it. neither does anyone i know.PeterPerson

I'm not a huge fan of it either - just seems an odd phrase to use in most instances. Oh well, let 'em have their fun...

Really? The most annoying and immature phrase you know of? How about any racial slur or sexual comment or comment relating to violating my mother? I would have to say any of those are far less mature. Considering "ftw!" is not offensive in any way, I would say that it has just about nothing to do with maturity. It's amusing and slightly nerdy.

For the win!

Did this originate from Hollywood Squares? Remember that game show? When the contestants would choose a celebrity to get their three in a row they'd say, "I'll take Whoopi Goldberg for the win!"

One of the most dumbest abbrieviations out there

If you can't beat em, join em FTW

lol how long have you been playin games for? Thats like one of THE gamer phrases. Exactly how is it immature? Not sureI really get that? Even though I never say it, doesnt bother me at all.

Depends on which generation you are from.

It used to mean fu** the world but in the internet age its for the win.

FTW = For the Win

QFT = Quoted for truth

IM(H)O = In my (honest) opinion

LTTP = Late to the party

YMMV = Your mileage may vary

TTFAF = Through the Fire and Flames (FTW)

For the win.GoreObsessed
