    So I've always wondered what "FTL" stands for. I saw it being used again on the video game thread so I thought I'd start a thread to ask. I know, people are going to post an image that says "Google." I googled it and is says "faster than light" which I don't get, is it a reference to something?

    Could someone pls explain the meaning and correct usage? Maybe other people have questions about similar acronyms or whatever and so maybe they can post that too.

    1337 = LEET = elite.

    If one types "1337," it means the above.
