So. I have a confession to make over the phrase 'for the win', and I feel that I must confess this as it has apparently become a major part of my vocabulary.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT FTW = FOR THE WIN. Actually, I thought it was an ironic and deliberate misuse of WTF. So, yes, fact is that whenever I saw ftw, I was actually reading it as FUCK THE WHAT. OK. CONFESSED. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? I'M AN IDIOT.

Of course, I realised my mistake a couple of days later. But yeah. That's the story behind that one. (Don't even ask me about IMO/IMHO. Srsly.)

ya know, I did the exact same thing til about two weeks ago when I finally asked a friend wtf "ftw" was... apparently she'd thought the same thing before too. and ya know, I still have no idea how to use "ftw" correctly in a sentence/statement/exclamation of joy/whatever...

LOL.

No, usage I'm clear on. Say, Emily_Reich is awesome? (Which lol, yeah). Then Emily_Reich is For The Win! It's sort of like "amazing!" or "hurrah!"

:D
