I know everybody should know this one but what about FTW? I have figured out just about everything else but in the context of sentences I've seen this in I'm still not sure what it represents.
Wikipedia offers: 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.

Well that certainly makes more sense to me but in the context I've seen it, it didn't quite fit either which is why I'm asking. I hope it is as you say. Thanks for the enlightenment.

I know WTF. How about other acronyms? I have a hard time keeping in the conversation some times.
They should have a runny glossary tab for such things. |
