  I love how it apparently stands for "What a terrible failure".

    Talk about reverse engineering an acronym :)
    • timmorgan 16y ago
      Wikipedia calls it a Backronym: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym

        "Backronym"? That's obviously a postmanteau :-)

          Portmanteau

            I know, see the ":-)" ?

  I came across this last night, PURE AWESOME!
• malkia 16y ago
  When called in reverse it indicates a SUCCESS! FTW!
  • xtho 16y ago
    It's not that simple. Some people say that in the reverse acronym the W was originally expanded to World. Question: W to F? Answer: F the W(orld)! Chorus: W the F! ... (repeat) Hero: For the win!
• malkia 16y ago
  And where is the BBQ extension to that function?
• martythemaniak 16y ago
  It would be practical to use as well. Neat.

  It's also worth noting that the Wave API supports direct lolcat insertion: http://code.google.com/p/google-wave-resources/issues/detail?id=714 http://code.google.com/p/google-wave-resources/issues/detail...

    Reminds me of the logcat command. http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html As the presenter at my first android user group meeting said, it sounds an awful lot like "lolcat".
    • jasonchen 16y ago
      You should try issuing "adb lolcat" sometime...
      • anigbrowl 16y ago
        Woah! Impressive.
