WTF FTW

I am old. I'm starting to feel like one of those parents that kids make fun of for not getting internet memes or text abbreviations. For example, "LOL" means "laughing out loud," not "lots of love." "ROFL" means "rolling on the floor laughing," not a quick way to refer to the massage/body work term, "rolfing."
 These I get.
However, I only recently learned that "FTW" stands for "for the win," rather than a transposition of "WTF,"  aka "What the f**k."
I feel slightly less stoopid now that I know the real meaning, but I think my original interpretation was actually better. 
"F**k the what, dudes, it's only Thursday! This week will never end.
See? Very useful.
I still don't get what a "meme" is, though. WTF?
Old.
