I keep noticing that I now read "RPG" as 'rocket propelled grenade' rather than 'role playing game'. Any other ancromyns you always seem to get wrong?

It means both... it's quite rare that nessasery to disambiguate. When in the sentance "Apache attack choppers where shot down by enemie RPGs" will PG mean Role Play Game?

Uh, I always thought FTW was fuck the world, for some reason

I did too when I was younger and in aol chat rooms. And by younger I mean 8ish years old, just to clear that up.

For The Win

and you could always use 5 if you don't want to say lol

1337ize (lol) = 101

101 in binary = 5 in decimale

therefor 5 = lol

1*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 1*2^0 = 1*4 + 0 + 1*1 = 4 + 0 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

Lol, for the longest time I thought it mean't "lots of luck", not "Laugh out loud".

I read somewhere (bash perhaps?) about some girl that thought 'lol' meant 'lots of love'. So when a relative of a friend died, she sent that friend a mail pretty much saying: "Sorry for your loss. Lol!"

Can you say 'ouch'?

In Toronto over the weekend we stopped on the street when we saw a chopper with a helmet that read "FTW". We all laughed and I took a pic with my camera phone. Then the biker came around and we commented on the helmet. He looked at us and said "fuck the world baby".

so yeah, I guess it depends on where you are between the geek <----> biker scale.

and yet i still always think FTW = For the Win!

although, actually, the first time i ever saw FTW used, a friend of mine was (and still does) using it as an acronym for "Fare Thee Well"

There's loads of TLA (three letter abbreviations :) ) in the armed forces. RPG is one of a myriad of them...so there's more than likely one that corresponds to FTW, LOL, etc. in their various branches.
