Simple answer is that it depends on who you ask. Ask most bikers, depending on the area of the country, and it's Fuck The World. Ask on them intranets, and it's for the win.
lol yeah i know what it stands for now, but i just this show called gangland and this biker was showing off his tattoos, and one of them happened to be f.t.w
lol, yeah. it was coined by bikers. Rough, tough, basement dwelling bikers. I think they came up with lolcats too.
Haha I was watching that last night and thought the same thing. I thought of For The Win everytime I saw it till it said it stood for fuck the world.
Just so you know, two separate people can come up with the same acronym for two completely different things. But that doesn't mean the second is copying the first.
I always thought ftw meant fuck the world. i just recently in the past like two years figured out it means for the win too im retarded.
