      Yeah I am not typically in favor of punitive measures as a solution to a problem that could be solved by building robust public transit free at the point of use, but I have also had a lot of friends killed by drunk drivers so fuck them.

          I think it’s more slang than abbreviation. Might have evolved from FTW. But I’ve heard folks say “take the L” so it may just be from that as well.
