all you youngins just seem to take our terms and modify them for your own use.........
about.com
While there were nastier meanings in previous years, FTW today commonly stands for "For the Win". It is an expression of enthusiasm. "FTW" is the same as saying "this is the best" or "this item will make a big difference, I recommend using it". Examples would include: "anti-lock braking, ftw!", "spellchecker, ftw!", and "low-carb diets, ftw!"
Older meanings of FTW
Years ago, "FTW" used to have a very negative meaning: "f**k the world". This was a term commonly used by social rebels, anarchists and anti-authoritarian types to express frustration with modern society. Gratefully, this antisocial meaning has dramatically faded in use in the 21st century, and people largely use "for the win" as the modern meaning for this acronym now.

Things like 'Hot', 'Cool', 'Sick' (WTF is up with that anyway???), not to mention the long list of abbreviations used by folks who no longer ( or never had) a grasp of the Queen's English. http://www.all-acronyms.com/cat/9/popular
We get many resumes and technical papers from idiots who blithely include these terms in their prose. Needless to say, they don't get hired.

The other 'kiss of death' occurs when, during an interview, they respond to texts without even being aware of it. Completely reflexive behaviour.
