Okay, I'll bite.
"FTW"?
Ever hear of Google?
FTW = For The Win
Don't start with me.
The second entry on Google is "Fuck the World" - this being you ...
Also this being you, I thought maybe you were having a dyslexic moment with WTF (What the Fuck) - or maybe it was some new, hip variant on "teh".
I remember a much younger me walking around Columbia, MO. I spied a wall with some graffiti. The urban wall art displayed the three letters "FTP". I was quite confused for a moment - why would a young vandal take the time to display his enjoyment of File Transfer Protocol? Such a geeky thing to do - although admirable.
Then it occurred to me - most likely those letters stood for Fuck The Police.
To this day I hope it actually meant File Transfer Protocol. Geek Urban Artists rool!
Of course. It's all my fault.
I read on the Mayo Clinic web site that people lose their sense of humor as they age.
Is it sad that I DID read it "WTF" insdead of "FTW"?
