Jack of Perth and Hairy Harry the 3rd., eRan and eRAQ would be more accurate.  Take it from a half eRannian.

It also looks like sa and Mick both missed the point, and sarcasm, of QANTAS FTW.

iBrad says:

05:45pm | 29/09/09

Here’s one - how about iDon’tCare… or the people who approved the Vegemite name being ID ten T people (ID10T)...

Matt says:

Cazzy says:

06:35pm | 29/09/09

I wake up saying FTW most mornings but after my blood e-mary 2.0 - I just think, WTF?

Jash says:

07:16pm | 29/09/09

To make Matts’ comment a bit better:

The hills hoist should be renamed iHoist 2.0; Wireless. And here are a few other thoughts…

Well there’s one other thought.

ADDSA 6.43pm, I thought Jetstars email address was jetstar@sux.co.ck. Love that the Cook Islands uses a .co instead of a .com !! Lyn 6.30pm, get it right, it’s Straya, no A at the beginning. Or if you want to sound really posh, Strarlya
As for new names, KFC - iG@g 4.3. McDonald’s - iVomit MKII. Hungry Jack’s - iPuke v3.11. Hospitals - iSick2000. New Zealand - i.Idiot4
I always thought FTW meant Fk The World. I must be one of the ‘too old’ ones that have been mentioned.

Pretty sure “FTW” = “For The Win”

iBill says:

If Kraft really wanted to “hip” it up, why not online orders with free shipping?

FTW really does mean ‘for the win’, Sa.

Jason says:

02:23am | 30/09/09

For as long as I can remember, FTW has meant ’ F%%k The World’. Maybe I grew up in the wrong part of Adelaide.

Kym says:

03:44am | 30/09/09

Just reading through these comments and I have laughed at quite a few of them but the funniest were these:
iPood
i-hops (kangaroos!)

Seriously though what was wrong with just calling it cheesymite?

Wedgie Mite says:

06:03am | 30/09/09

iSnack2.0 = iDontthinkso,
TV = iDiotbox
Centrelink = iQ
Weighwatchers = iSnack4u
Australian Tax Office = iWin
Telstra = iRipuoff3x
HillsHoist = iSwing
Victa = iMowupush

And we’ll always call Vegemite = Vag*namite or Wedgiemite

Loved all the others hehehehee

Steve says:

07:46am | 30/09/09

Jason is dead on the money.  FTW = f$%k the world.  Ask anyone under 35.

Also Steve says:

08:58am | 30/09/09

Agree with Steve 0646 30/9.

Over fifty, a world traveller, very conversant with most TLAs and FLAs. FTW definitely did not start out as For The Win, never hear of it described as such before reading the above comments.

Simon says:

09:06am | 30/09/09

you people shouldne be complaining about the name, what about the taste?? Have you tried the new recipe? terrible

Jason says:

09:09am | 30/09/09

steve you must be near on 35 and hoping to grip out what is current with those who still have a clue. FTW = For the Win, L2P IMO. LOLOLOLOLOL!1!!

Graeme says:

09:10am | 30/09/09

FTW - F¤%K the world. Ask any member of an OMCG.

Mike says:

09:23am | 30/09/09

20 years ago FTW was a common abbreviation for “F… the World”, Now it definitely means “For the Win” (a World of Warcraft thing I think, so maybe just internet vernacular).  It took me a while to realise what people were talking about on forums.  I still feel a little ripped of that a great TLA has been made lame.

Ray from the Bay says:

09:37am | 30/09/09

FTW:
Free the weed (if your that way inclined)
F*ck the world…
Anyone who thinks it’s original form is ‘for the win’ probably also thinks sampling/using original tunes in todays music is creative and original…..

Lord Jocks Dog says:

09:39am | 30/09/09

FTW means F@#k the world always has and always will

Trent says:

10:04am | 30/09/09

FTW for the online youth of today, including me (I’m 33) means For The Win!. It may not have started out that way, but that is what the younger generation know it as.

Definitely should have been named FaceSnack.

David says:

10:10am | 30/09/09

Should be called YUKKEMITE !

Robert says:

10:27am | 30/09/09

iResume3.0 - for the Kraft marketing person who must by now be looking for a new job…

Eugene says:

11:30am | 30/09/09

WTF? STFU!

Mick says:

11:47am | 30/09/09

Despite Geraint’s suggestion, I don’t believe that I missed any sarcasm, I just disagree with the suggestion that FTW means for the win.  I’m over 35, and have never played world of warcraft or any such thing, and have never before seen FTW used in a context that would suggest it means anything other that Fuck the World.

Then again, the kiddies these days seem to think that calling “shotgun” means something quite different from what I think it means - perhaps I am just too old.

Vinh says:

02:20pm | 30/09/09

Hmm.  Regarding FTW and any such Internet or pre-internet abbreviations; may I refer you to Urban Dictionary / Wikipedia?

Obviously, and very very obviously, FTW now has multiple meanings - it seems a little stubborn to insist that a single variation is “ORIGINAL AND BESTEST AND THEREFORE TEH ONLY ONE”.

As an aside, the most popular internet word of the moment I believe is “fail”. I’d like to see that used in marketing…

Brian Last says:

06:58pm | 30/09/09

NO NO NO   Call it Smeggy-mite   cos its a cheesy treat you put in your mouth and it tastes like .... well you get my drift

Jez says:

07:16pm | 30/09/09

“Chris Judd = iGouge”

Dennis Cometti made that exact same joke a few weeks back…

“Seriously though what was wrong with just calling it cheesymite?”

Baker’s Delight might have a problem with that…

FFS says:

07:21pm | 30/09/09

Mick et al fails to grasp the concept that just because he/they has/have never heard of something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Nick says:

08:25pm | 30/09/09

31 here, and until this thread I’ve only ever encountered the “For the win” meaning of “FTW” (and yes, that originated as an online gaming thing and WoW in particular is where I first encountered it).

Looking it up suggests that bikers also use the acronym to mean “Forever Two Wheels” in addition to the other meanings already discussed in the thread.

Maree says:

09:41pm | 30/09/09

hmmm, clearly not many bikies read blogs,or engage in web 2.0 or there would be outrage over the co-opting of FTW to something so ridiculoulsy loser-ish as ‘For the Win’
and the qantas logo is much funnier with the original meanings.
next people are going to say that figjam means a jam made out of figs!
