Brad Posted November 27, 2006 Author Posted November 27, 2006 whats FTWFrom Wikipedia: Used as an acronym for the sentence fragment For The Win to show preference for something over another. Commonly used in threaded forums. Most likely a reference to the television game show Hollywood Squares, in which players declare their (usually obvious) intention to win the game with a particular play.[4] Sample usage might be "Linux FTW!" or in conversation, "Appetizers are great at dinner," "Nachos FTW!"
