    If people are putting in suggestions, and you feel like yours beats the rest, you say FTW or "For the win".

    I'm presuming that 'For the win' is a peculiarly Irish expression, as any 'FTWs' I've see in use on any other board have a dramatically contrary meaning.

    I dont think so. I first heard FTW 'For teh Win' on mmorpg games about 2 or 3 years ago I would say. It's deffinetly not irish anyway.

    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.
