text-speak with several translations. Most famously "F*CK THE WORLD!!!" Used in a very upbeat manner, FTW is not a negative or condemning phrase. Users often fist-pump while shouting this life-affirming three-word prediction.
Sir William shouted, "FTW!!!" as he boarded the Airbus A380 to Iraq. "We shall overcome!"

Bad Bob nicknamed his new sports car the "GT-R FTW"

"For The Win."

An enthusiastic emphasis to the end of a comment, message, or post. Sometimes genuine, but often sarcastic.

Originated from the game show Hollywood Squares where the result of the player's response is expected to win the game.
Bob: Your 1up t-shirt rocks
Sally: 1up t-shirts ftw.

Originated as a biker term used in two contexts:

1. Forever Two Wheels. A validation of biker culture, values, and of course, bikes.

2. Fuck The World. A rejection of non-biker/traditional values/laws of any kind.

According to people who should know, the first was the true origin of the term.
From a Hell's Angel working security at a Grateful Dead concert, when (stupidly) asked about the meaning of his FTW tattoo: "Forever Two Wheels".

Has since been appropriated by and attributed to everything from Hollywood Squares (For the Win) to Greenpeace: (Free The Whales)etc, etc, ad infinitum.
