A meaningless acronym which most often stands for "Oh My God What The Fvck Barbeque." It most likely originated on Something Awful (somethingawful.com). It can be interpreted simply as gibberish, or used when one wants to emphasize one's own incoherence, lack of understanding, or to mock others.
.

It usually has an air of mockery, specifically with regard to teenagers who a lot of use three-letter acronyms.

Example #1 (def: incoherence)

Computer Nerd #1: I mean, just because it's https doesn't mean it's fvcking legit
Computer Nerd #2: Yeah, I'm sure those idiot script kiddies would love to get their hands on a secure server so they could grab some more AOL passwords before they hit up the child pr0n
Non Computer Nerd: OMGWTFBBQ please kill me


Example #2 (def: mockery)

Teenager #1: so i was all like, stacy, if u want a loser like steve for your boyfriend go ahead!!!!
Teenager #2: lol
Teenager #3: omg i can't believe u said that!!
Cynical Generation X-er: OMGWTFBBQ

Um...Gen X'ers are in their late 20's and up. You know the one's that grew up in the 80's (middle, high school etc). The ones that remember the original showings of Heman, Video 1 with Richard Blade and what not.
Now if you said Gen y or MTV Generation...than I'd agree with you. Please don't clump us with this pussified generation.

I thought the last year of generation x was 1980, so not all are in their late 20's. :p

EDIT: It looks like it depends on who you ask. :confused:
