FTW = For The Win
FTUW = For The Ultimate Win

It's a way of saying something's really good, while also doing your best to emphasise how cool you are.

Like much on the forum, it comes from 1990s messageboards.

If somebody did, I dunno, the coolest thing on earth, maybe a quad backflip-superman seat grab-720 with a barspin, and then celebrated that feat by shouting
"FOR THE ULTIMATE WIN"

I really would be obliged to punch them in the face.

really reeeeeealy hard.
