"FTW" is an internet slang that stands for "For The Win". It is used to express approval or support of something and is often added as enthusiastic emphasis to the end of a sentence. For example, "Pizza FTW!" means that pizza is the best choice. The abbreviation can be found on various gaming Usenet groups, including one dedicated to poker and another to the MMORPG World of Warcraft, in the mid-2000s. The abbreviation may have been given a boost by another popular internet expression "epic fail," a hyperbolic description for a failure, big or small. Win, in contrast to fail, has become synonymous with "excellent".
