VaKo Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 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? Quote
armadaender Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Lol, for the longest time I thought it mean't "lots of luck", not "Laugh out loud". Quote
Sparda Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 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? Quote
PoyBoy Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Uh, I always thought FTW was fuck the world, for some reason Quote
armadaender Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 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. Quote
Sparda Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Wipe the fat is fortun towle windmils? I don't quite understand what you are saying ROFL. Quote
jollyrancher82 Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 WTF is FTW? It's "What the fuck is WTF?" :P Quote
SomeoneE1se Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 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 Quote
rFayjW98ciLoNQLDZmFRKD Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 what about the RPG programming language? Quote
cooper Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 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'? Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Uh, I always thought FTW was fuck the world, for some reason 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. Quote
satchman Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 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" Quote
PoyBoy Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 lolz. Fare Thee Well for that damnable CSS win!!!! Quote
leetabix Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 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. Quote
PoyBoy Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Another one, I never knew what the hell VaKo was talking about when he says FBH. Some Pakistani Hacking group? Quote
wetelectric Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 "fot the win". where the fudge did that come from? Its from the u.s.a i presume..... ftw? it makes no sense. :? Quote
film Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 When i first ever starting messing with computers i thought FTP meant Fuck the pope ??? then i found it meant File Transfer Protocol 5 (im going to use 5 as l0l now :P) Quote
