OK, I'm a geezer before my time. I admit it. You younguns with your new-fangled chatspeak are just driving me crazy.
I've seen the character string FTW used time and again here. Just what does it stand for?

For The Win - meaning it's awesome. It's one of those newfangled Internet memes.

For The Win. Its a gamer term, sort of like 'checkmate' for people who don't have the attention span or math skills to play chess.
And even old farts like us can learn to use:

And hey, look up "cleveland steamer" while you are there, it even shocked me.

Why, in the names of the gods, did I click on your urban dictionary link and enter "cleveland steamer"?
There are time when I hate being curious.

They used it the other night on Family Guy, and since I knew what it meant, and my GF is rather, well, not into all that, she didn't understand how I spit my beer across the room when it was used.
Still, the UD is a pretty damn good resource in these times for us old guys.
PM me for a list of other terms you don't want to know like, Dirty Sanchez, Donkey Punch, and Dropping the kids off at the Pool.
fo' shizzle my nizzle

That was just plain sick, Tekla
And I already know what Dropping the kids off at the pool means.
