    For the win? Again I repeat... what the heck does FTW mean? I don't get it in relation to the context!

    for the win
    Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary

    for the win

    1. (Internet, slang) Of something which completes a process in a successful manner or is of the speaker's personal preference; abbreviated as FTW.

    (Sports Announcer) He lines up the shot... and he makes it-- FOR THE WIN!
    (Speaker one) Did anyone see the concert last Thursday? (Speaker two) Rammstein ftw! [meaning the speaker preferred Rammstein]

    [edit] Usage notes

    More often than not, this phrase is used online and shortened to "FTW". Also, "FTW" is mostly used to indicate a contribution or action taken that one is proud of, even facetiously. Very frequently, the phrase will be used in fragments lacking verbs, eg Good offense ftw
