RE: What Does "FTW' Mean?
Glen is teh winnar!
The internet has strange things goin on.. Some are cute, some funny, most annoying, and a surprising amount of truly nauseating content. FTW in old people terms and bikers does mean F the werld.. although the internet nerds have been using it as For the Win.. An image search on google will reveal some of the phenomena.. also be sure to check out some of the more strange items out there.. I am in the group who used it as the werld, but lately its taken on a new meaning..
its a different culture, not really bad... just different. like LOL, ROFL, NIFOC, GFY, ROFLWMCOMN.. you get the idea... or maybe not..
Yeah its stupid. As is most things on the internet.. but fun keeps you young.

ORIGINAL: Soaring
I am not an old biker, and FTW has never ever been a part of my life. I have never heard of it, and I am 63. For the Win is a stupid response, and has nothing to do with a conversation. F*uck the World also has nothing to do with a conversation. Dumb, I tell ya.....Dumb. [:-]
Utoh! Here comes my SWMBO to tell me to go to bed.

RE: What Does "FTW' Mean?
Like I said... FTW only has one real meaning! "Bikers" was a term coined by HD to describe the "outlaw" branch of the motorcycle world. HD described riders who fit their image as "Enthusiasts". Want to know the name of the magazine that they have been publishing since 1916... "The Enthusiast" in which they published an article at one time in which they described the 1% of the rider population that made up the "Biker" mentality, as is known now as 1% 'ers...

RE: What Does "FTW' Mean?
everything is relative. If you only know one meaning of FTW, then that by default it the one true meaning. lots of things are relative, and I'll spare everyone by not comparing this to religion, but the connection can be made, not one person is correct, and not one person is incorrect. you just have to read it in context or ignore it.
