I'm positive it was "for the win" long before "fuck the world". This sounds like Gen Z co-opting our acronym and gaslighting us into thinking we're wrong, to me.

    I guess it meant 'forever two wheels' or 'fuck the world' pre-internet. Im not sure exactly where i picked it up as fuck the world but thats just always what it meant to me growing up in the 90's

    I'm an older millennial, and I definitely never heard it used for anything other than "for the win", but if we're talking pre-internet, it's very possible that it was a regional thing. I don't recall ever seeing the acronym pre-internet at all.
