Old Skool.

Y’know how people use the little acronym “FTW”?

Like, “Oh, hey, spilled a drink on myself, ha ha ha, beverage FTW!”

Okay, here’s the thing: a decade ago that little “FTW” thing meant “Fuck The World” and it was something people tattooed on their knuckles and it was all bad-ass and now, whenever Oldest One brings out the “FTW” or I see it in someone’s blog, I do not immediately think of “For The Win” and instead get a little shiver of, “Uhhhh…?” in my brain.

Now you know.

    Oh, thank goodness! I thought it was just me who thought it was “Fuck the World.” I completely could not figure out why people were using “FTW” all the time in places where the context seemed… nonexistent… until I looked it up over at Urban Dictionary. Now if I can just figure out what “pr0n” means…..
