I was reading a dab page, and an article broke out
[edit]I removed the following material from the page -- there may be the genesis of a separate article here, if someone wants to pursue it.--NapoliRoma (talk) 08:17, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
Fuck the World, commonly referred to by the acronym "FTW", is taken from its common use by Outlaw bikers to summarize their philosophy on life[1][2] as represented by their dress code and nihilistic lifestyle.[3]
Often seen as a tattoo [4][5], as a decorative patches worn on cut-offs [6] or painted on motorcycles. Some biker clubs are said to use FTW badges to represent time spent in prison.[7]
