text-speak with several translations. Most famously "F*CK THE WORLD!!!" Used in a very upbeat manner, FTW is not a negative or condemning phrase. Users often fist-pump while shouting this life-affirming three-word prediction.
Sir William shouted, "FTW!!!" as he boarded the Airbus A380 to Iraq. "We shall overcome!"
Bad Bob nicknamed his new sports car the "GT-R FTW"
Sunshine Sue says, "I got new nipple rings, girls, FTW!!!"

"For The Win."
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.

Originated as a biker term used in two contexts:
1. Forever Two Wheels. A validation of biker culture, values, and of course, bikes.
2. Fuck The World. A rejection of non-biker/traditional values/laws of any kind.
According to people who should know, the first was the true origin of the term.
From a Hell's Angel working security at a Grateful Dead concert, when (stupidly) asked about the meaning of his FTW tattoo: "Forever Two Wheels".
Has since been appropriated by and attributed to everything from Hollywood Squares (For the Win) to Greenpeace: (Free The Whales)etc, etc, ad infinitum.

In biker gangs it meant Fuck the World,
but in online usage it mainly means For the Win.
When you see FTW, don't ever get a biker confused with a gamer or else you might be like "stfu n00b" and then get your face smashed in.
