What does this mean

[Indybird]

Ok, Im having an argument with my friends about "FTW"

I know it means "F$%# the World" and "For the Win" but has anyone here used it or heard it used as "F#$% the what?"

All my friends say its never ever used for and I think I've heard it in other places.

Please help me on this...

Thanx, Indybird

At first, I thought FTW was "F**k the What?!," but it turns out it is "For the Win."

I know this is weird, but I say it all the time. See I like to say things backwards, and one of my friends said 'what the f**k' and I turned it around and said 'f**k the what'. LOL, i guess

[b4i7]

yeah....normally its used as for the win....mc chris has a song called ftw ...but ive used it as f*** the what for a while now

[Airbozo]

My favorite use is: Fut the whuck?

Never heard of that other nonsense...

[ESX]

Originally it was F**k the world (like mid 70s or so).
Could be also "For the win" or "F**k the what" (which is backwards for WTF).

[ajmilton]

i always figured it was a reference to the game hollywood squares - "i'll pick Whoopi for the win"

*shrug*

[Crimson Sky]

who the **** cares. ;)

I'm just ****ing around, I don't mean to **** with any of you.

[Indybird]

So many of you do say f**k the what, right? I knew my friends were wrong. :bunny:

Its sorda funny though, the whole time we're goin "f**k" and "f$%k" and crimson just comes in here like who the **** cares... hehe

[Omega]

I've heard it used as "**** the What?!" before. Like, if somebody says something like "I just ****ed a (insert really strange object)", then you say "**** THE WHAT?!"

=D


Censors suck, btw.

[Crimson Sky]

there is only one word censored here, the Big C word.

Compaq?

Compaq?

No, Convention.

[Slug Toy]

are you sure its "convention"? i was pretty sure its "children".

or actually, now im pretty sure its "black". why you might ask? because i possess the implicit knowledge that black was once commonly spelled with a silent C at the beginning. it later changed to a silent K, and was eventually shortened to just plain old "black" for the sake of simplicity. evidently someone thought silent C's and K's were far inferior to silent H's...

its a little off topic, but i found a great definition a couple minutes ago.

its C*nt

LoL...a common word for the Brits, used much more in daily conversation in the UK than it is here.

[ESX]

Yep. What do you think the american english word is equal to C*nt? ****? or?

[ajmilton]

it's the exact same word :P

[onelegout]

'f**k the what?' Doesn't actualy make sense though... it doesn't mean anything...
FTW means 'for the win' or 'f**k the world'.

Indybird - Just because other people have misconceived ideas on what it means, doesn't mean that it's right.

True.

it's the exact same word :P

It's not the same word at all. One's a verb and one's a noun. You wouldn't say "You are a c*nting f*ck". At least, not while sober.

In the UK, it refers to a woman's...y'know, bits. Down below.

Hilarious Story:
I know when Americans say fanny, they are referring to their backside. Here, that means the same thing as ****. Now, Liza Minelli, when appearing on a popular chat show in the UK (So Graham Norton) displayed a despicable level of ignorance: For when the Host, Graham Norton, mentioned the word fanny, Liza asked him what he meant. He replied: "You know, your front bottom." To which she replied...wait for it...

"What, you guys have a bottom at the front too?"

How can someone be so blissfully ignorant to think that Brits are so different that we have 2 Arseholes? How can they get away with being so bloody stupid on live television?

Who knows.

Vagina.

This has gone fantasticly off topic hahahaha

[DaveW]

Vagina.

What's that then?


hahah that's a good one! I doubt she ACTUALY thought we had two, I think she was taking the mickey of the term front bottom

The look of confusion on her face contradicted this, but it's always possible. :D

Remember kids, Always check the size of your wheels before lowering a car.


I saw a lowered and riced out honda in San Leandro, CA. once. It went over a speedbump, but the chin spoiler snagged on the speedbump and the whole front valance (which was a cheap polyurethane piece) fell off and the dude ran over it ... good game.

I've heard similar stories over here. One guy i heard of had to take his car back the next day to get raised again, because the council put in massive speed bumps (which they were later forced to remove, due to their stupid height) and they killed his car.

[ajmilton]

er yeah. onelegout got what i meant. :P

RE: speed bumps and lowered cars...

Here in California (somewhat a part of the US), there are laws concerning the use of speed bumps and the ultimate liability when someone breaks something.

First and foremost, speed bumps shall not restrict the speed of an emergency vehicle. So now all new speed bumps installed in my area _must_ have gaps in them that are the same width as any emergency vehicles tires (or tyres for some of you) so that their travel is not impeded.

Second, the speed bumps _must_ allow you to pass over them at the posted speed with no detrimental affect on your _stock_ car. This has become a sticky point in some 'hoods since their speed bumps make you slow down to ~10mph to pass over them. This is fine if the posted speed is 10 mph (as it is in my hood). There have been some lawsuits recently in "private" neighborhoods where someone tried to go over said bumps at posted speed and damaged the vehicle. Since it is a public road the county was liable for the repairs and then came out an removed the speed bumps. A week later the "private" community put them back, and the lawsuits are still flying.

I live in a private development that has a private road. We still have to abide by state laws concerning the height of said bumps, so we lowered our speed limit from 15 mph to 10 mph. Problem solved until one of our residents complained that even at 10 mph his lowered mustang scraped bottom on the bumps. I hate speed bumps, so when I got elected to the road association (that's _MR_ prez to you!) several years ago I started having the roads repaved _without_ speed bumps (mainly because they impeded with my skateboard fun). We now only have 4 left on the main road into and out of our community. Once we repave that part of the road, all but 1 will be taken out.
Last year I bought a mustang gt (stock) only to find out I have to creep over one of those bumps and I _still_ scrape the transmission. I took a pick axe to it to cut a groove for my car. My neighbors car still scrapes.

Now get the heck back on topic!
