nerdy != retarded
But yeah. I'm just saying, pick a word - it once meant something different.

apply that ideology to sexism or racism and see if it still applies
"well the internet said..." so lame

nope. wrong to anyone that thinks otherwise. it means 'fuck the world' plain and simple. and for a guy that loves the police-jevad*cough you should know better.

I mean that in the sense of language. How many words have a different meaning now compared to what they meant years ago?
Personal preference = you don't have to use the word, although it definitely is in your face all the time with its growing popularity.

urbandictionary should be renamed to wordsforpeoplewhocaretoomuchabou...
besides, they describe themselves best

A website with a brilliant concept that could have become great if it hadn't been overrun by a mob of losers, who spend their days trying to feel important and popular"

In biker gangs it meant Fuck the World,
but in online usage it mainly means For the Win.
When you see FTW, don't ever get a biker confused with a gamer or else you might be like "stfu n00b" and then get your face smashed in.
"meant" as in -before-
i'd assume a bunch of lan line parties would vote up for the win above fuck the world, but anyone with a sense of american cultural history knows ftw means fuck the world, hands down, no question
