Why wouldn’t they change it to “Federation of Tourism in Wisconsin” so they could be FTW!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah big improvement in the slang meaning
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=TFW
1 tfw
get this on a mug Mug or greeting card
tfw is an acronym meaning “the fuck what” (usually followed by a question mark)
it’s used to express being confused or amazed by something.
It’s also used by Star Wars geeks to imitate the way Yoda would say ‘what the fuck’
2. TFW
typical fuckin whore
Corey “Did you see what Merrily is wearing today?”
Cathy “Yea, she’s a TFW!”

Just to be pedantic, WTF is an initialism, not an acronym.
An acronym is a type of initialism that is pronounced like a word (like NASA and NATO), if you have to say every letter (WTF, FBI), it’s not an acronym, though it is an initialism.
