[edit] Windows Technology Framework

Google shows essentially no hits for this - I think it's spurious. --Air 15:19, 30 May 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Witness the Fitness

Living in Britain, I've never heard this. Google only appears to think that "Witness the Fitness" is (1) the name of a band and (2) the name of a track by Roots Manuva. I think this is bogus. --Mayrel 18:13, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I totally agree, there is no way in hell that the letters WTF could EVER stand for (W)hat (T)he (F)uck. -Damien Vryce 17:24, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Look at the section title. He's not talking about all the meanings of WTF, only about proposed "Witness the Fitness" acronym. 212.200.52.11 19:16, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Space between end of word and paranthesis?

In the last bullet, the paranthesis ends with a large space. Why is that?


[edit] What the fuck!?

I'm tired of people giving the idea that military slang was originally Internet slang. First off, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is from the Nato Phonetical Alphabet. This is MILITARY. This is another example of military slang becoming Internet slang but people being completely ignorant of its etymology. I fixed this because it gives people the wrong impression.

who fucking cares? If you love the military so much go fight in eye-rack. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.26.101.71 (talk) 21:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Newest addition as of now (?)

The newest addition to the list as of right now is "Wasn't That Funny (TLC)"

While this may be a perfectly acceptable explanation of the acronym "WTF", I am wondering what TLC is.

Google's "Define:" tool gives multiple explanations from R&B groups and internet alliancess to sitcoms and church movements.

Please elaborate this acronym, since I think that it is unnecesary to need looking up one acronym while looking up another acronym to understand the definition of the first acronym. If you can follow me.

But I think you're missing the point of "disambiguation". These aren't dictionaries or acronym thesauruses, they are pages geared towards helping people find the articles they're looking for, when the search terms can mean many different things. If your new additions still exist in a few days time, without links to existing Wikipedia articles, I'll probably come back and delete them. WikHead (talk) 18:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Oh, pardon me Bobber0001, I misunderstood. I thought you were saying that you were the user who just added those acronyms. It seems clear now, that we were both agreeing to the same thing all along. Please accept my apologies. WikHead (talk) 20:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I was like "what the fuck" (shitty pun totally intended) when I read your first paragraph, but your second paragraph made it all clear. Apology accepted. (Is it a custom to keep adding ":"'s when you reply to something on a talk page? Help me learn! Bobber0001 (talk) 22:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] fake entries

Not long ago this article was completely revised, and it needed that. The article was literally littered with a vast amount of "fake" entries, with little or no practical usage. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, nor is it its job to list every possible lettering of an acronym. "WTF" could mean so many different things, and only the most used and important should be listed here. I just removed yet another entry, "Wearying Train Findings", which does not make any sense, nor give any hits when searced for on google. Please do not add random purposeless entries, I cannot stress this enough. Just because you might've heard about something with the acronym WTF does not mean that it has to be listed here. The most important explanations of the acronym is already listed, and unless agreed upon, none probably needs to be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobber0001 (talk • contribs) 09:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

People are STILL adding pointless entries. I just removed an entry concerning a specific column in a specific blog. The entry even contained a dead internal link to the blog's uncreated page on Wikipedia. I have to say it again: do not add pointless entries that are outside of the scope of Wikipedia. It is annoying to remove three pointless entries every week, it clutters the article, and it makes it more difficult to find relevant information. Bobber0001 (talk) 19:10, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
