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.)
Also: how awesome was last week's The Unit when Mack actually said "WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT"? *loves*
