I've seen this around, this abreviation and I'm tired of waiting for you people to explain what it means. So, FTW... what does it stand for?

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure it means For The Win.

Thank you!

Ha! I had to ask about this one too...

For the win!

Did you hear the collective eyeroll of the under 30 set? I know I did.

Be cheerful - like Kathy Bates in 'Fried Green Tomatoes' said just after she 'accidently' ran into their car a half dozen times over a parking spot:

*commences the auto-defiling*

Evelyn: "Face it, girls, I'm older and I have more insurance."

I love that scene. The whole movie is just wonderful but isn't just a priceless scene?

I'm slightly older than you, and when I can't figure it out, I go here:

It's usually pretty helpful.

I never thanked you for this. Sorry. It just came in really handy, too! :)
