I thought that meant something else.... 'something' the world....

FTW = For the win

from the urban dictionary:
Originated from the game show Hollywood Squares where the result of the player's response is expected to win the game.
(was it on here? I don't think so...)

It's practically in everyday speech in America, and it's only internet osmosis that's leeched it over here...
