An enthusiastic emphasis to the end of a comment, message, or post. Sometimes genuine, but often sarcastic.
Originated from the game show Hollywood Squares where the result of the player's response is expected to win the game.
Bob: Your 1up t-shirt rocks
Sally: 1up t-shirts ftw.
I've NEVER seen or heard FTW used sarcastically by anybody, even by WIRED type meme heads.
We also used FTL (For The Lose) if we got beaten and had to retreat and lick our wounds.
Hence, you can use :
Can you recommend any good films lately ?
Yes, Avatar FTW.
What do you think of Gordon Brown ?
Gordon FTL.
HTHOf all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
