You don't know? 

It was a very from the game zero wing.  It was very poorly translated into english,  it went something like this

In A.D. 2101
War was beginning.
Captain: What happen ?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What !
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's you !!
CATS: How are you gentlemen !!
CATS: All your base are belong to us.
CATS: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say !!
CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time.
CATS: Ha ha ha ha ....
Operator: Captain !! *
Captain: Take off every 'ZIG'!!
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move 'ZIG'.
Captain: For great justice.

Of course I believe it was a flash animation that spread its popularity.

LOL all your base are belong to us.  Now I know where it came from.

FTW is what the guy that wins says

WTF is what the guy that lost says

if it was a well played map by both sides, it is costumary to say GG(good gome) by both parties.

other terms to be added:

RA - Returning Armada ; you would not believe how many do not know this term

cap - capitol ship

FLTCOM - Fleet Command ; this is a navy term that might be applied here

DC ships - Direct combat ships (light frigate, heavy cruiser) ; an occasionally used term

Flagship - the ship with the fleet icon above it.

mine - the exploding kind

extractor - what you use to get resources  do not confuse the two!

 Space egg/space whale - the Vasari Jarrasul Evacuator

also, put in that LRM is sometimes used instead of LRF.

any other ideas?

Entrenchment: When your dying grandmother calls to ask you be there at her side for her last moments, and your car fails to start. You get in your wife's car and get pulled over, hit every red light, run into rush hour traffic on the highway, cant find a parking spot, get lost, find the info desk to get a temorary ID, realize you left your wallet in the car, go back, realize the elevators are out of order, take the stairs, get stuck behind a morbidly obese man in this scooter, get detoured because the hallway is sealed after someone starts throwing up blood, make it to grandma's room, find out she got moved to hospice, run to the other end of the hospital, wait in line at info desk behind a man with Alzheimers, find out her room number, and MAYBE, just MAYBE you'll get to see her tonight.

Pwn does not mean those things, it means "own". "Own" means those things. Pwn is just a typo, and is actually pronounced "own". Just so y'all know. c:

FTW does stand for "For the Win", however, it also does stand for "Fuck the What".
