WTF
From Free net encyclopedia
WTF is a three-letter abbreviation with multiple meanings, as described below:
- The World Taekwondo Federation, http://www.wtf.org/
- Working Title Films, a United Kingdom film production company.
- The role-playing game Werewolf: The Forsaken from White Wolf Game Studio can be compressed to WtF, which has led to numerous jokes because of its similarity to the "What the frak" definition (see below). White Wolf has even produced a t-shirt that reads "WTF?" on the front and has the "Werewolf: The Forsaken" logo on the back.
- An initialism for "What the fuck?" or "What the femininity?" in Internet slang. Other, less frequently used meanings include: "Who/Where/Why/When the fuck?". Often seen in online gaming and chat environments. wtf can be used to express anger, hatred or confusion. For those who are less apt to cuss words, "freak" can be inserted in place of fuck. However, "WTF" is commonly used where certain websites/controlled situations prohibit the actual use of the word "fuck."
- wtf is also the name of a command line acronym database. It first appeared in NetBSD 1.5 (see the wtf manual page), and has been ported to many other operating systems.
