Talk:FTW

Latest comment: 27 days ago by Kreechureman in topic Fuck this war

Added the millitary version. The first time I had ever seen FTW was during the Viet Nam war. At that time it had stood for Fuck the War. I can not ever remember seeing it before that. There is some news footage with the FTW written on some of the soldiers helmets. Since that time I think it has taken on new meanings.

Fuck the World edit

I have no idea why anyone would REMOVE the "fuck the world" definition, which is older, and is still the one that pops into my head first when I see it. Dictionaries can have *multiple* definitions folks. BalthCat 04:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fuck this war edit

This version of FTW is POV and should not be in the definition.--Sir James Paul 23:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

How is it a point-of-view? It is a military slang. While one using the term might possess a point of view, the definition itself is not. ZimZalaBim 04:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
The literal denotation of an acronym being POV? Ha. Go back to your ABCs, Sir Paul.

"For the win"? "Forever two wheels"??? Y'all got it all twisted EXCEPT, ZIMZALA BIM! Hahaha! None of you are even close. FFS! Anybody ever consider "Researching" (without phukken Google). It was said by many during and after the Korean war and was made known and famous to me by Sonny and it originally stood for "FUCK THE WAR!" . When the soldiers returned from Nam it changed to "Fuck The World!". I mean come the fuck on already. Can you really picture a 6'7" 320 lb outlaw biker to be saying, "For the win!", even gay dudes think that's gay AF! SMMFH. Kreechureman (talk) 13:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Lock this page edit

This page is constantly vandalised — almost daily — and should be locked. Equinox 02:13, 24 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Fondel the Whale edit

This version of FTW comes from World of Warcaft where FTW was orgininated

For the wolf edit

I request that For the wolf is added as seen here : http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1894767

It doesn't seem to meet our WT:CFI. You can add it at the list of protologisms (newly invented words) at WT:LOP if you want. Equinox 22:22, 21 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Fot the wuck edit

I request that Fot the wuck is added as it's frack to bunt for what the fuck and the first thing I thought it must be.

==Free To Wander== another biker meaning.

Free To Wander edit

Email address edit

To the mods - since this page is locked, could one of you kindly remove my email address from the first FTW entry. I don't mind being quoted, but having my email attached rather than my handle (notesurfer) is a bit inconvenient, and its removal will certainly help me cut down on the spam I receive. Thanks.
