For the Win
Free the World
F%&k the World

If it is the last one (which is what I suspect), I still don't get it. Sounds like a heavymetal headbang phrase but don't see the meaning behind it. Maybe there is no meaning and it's a sign that I'm getting old in my early 40's. :iono:

it means for the win. like FTL means for the loss.
