Win The Food |

I think the original context of the statement in the first post was
"Java FTW" (for the win).
But I'm now more inclined to think that the general consensus of the meaning of FTW is fuck the world, as it makes more logical sense. |

| | patrickjluke | Jan 28, 3:39pm | | I don't get it. java & FTW in the same sentence? |
|
|
| | clayfeet | Jan 28, 5:44pm | oh, patrick, it makes sense if you look at it from the right angle:
If you are playing cards, you will need coffee to stay awake and adequately alert to play your card "for the win"
You're welcome. I was glad to be of help |

| | patrickjluke | Jan 28, 6:01pm | | java's a card game? Never heard of it, but thanks for the revelation clayfeet. |

|
| | clayfeet | Jan 28, 6:06pm | oh, c'mon, stay with the program
java - another word for coffee
FTW - short for "for the win" |

| | patrickjluke | Jan 29, 9:06pm | | I've never heard of java as another word for coffee. Have I lived a sheltered life? Is it an Indonesian blend? |

Sponsor | | TS-guy | Jan 29, 9:18pm | According to etymonline.com/index.php [etymonline.com/index.php]
the word Java has been used since 1850 for a kind of coffee grown on Java and nearby islands of modern Indonesia.
I always thought coffee being called 'java' started in the 1930's so this is news to me also. |
