I refuse to use it. It makes no sense at all. People use it over and over (mostly internet noobs who want to "fit in") in the most retarded contexts that make no sense.

/rant off.

You just used the term "noob".

FTW!

That is exactly what I was thinking FTW. 😉

You use one acronym or online word, you can't diss another one without sounding a little hypocritical. FTL

...The sad thing is that since I don't keep up with it all anymore, and some of these acronyms are hard to decipher so I have to Google them to find out what they stand for. Whether it's sad for me or sad for the Internet I don't know, but it is definitely sad.

Google...FTW!

They're usually not very funny in the first place. Maybe worth a chuckle or two with the right timing and in the right context, but then you see it at least once in every single thread that you click on. It gets old real quick.

No sh!t. Usually it's just nerds trying to be funny or original but it's far from both.
