“FTW” stands for “For The Win”

What does FTW mean in texting?

The slang term “FTW” is an abbreviation of the phrase “For the win!” and is used especially to express approval or support for something. It is similar to saying “It’s awesome” or, “The best ever”. FTW is often added as enthusiastic emphasis to the end of a comment or a text message.

However, FTW can sometimes be used sarcastically to mean the opposite of what you just said. For example, you might tell a friend “My wife bought one of Trump’s bibles for $150 FTW”, meaning that you think it was a terrible idea.
