1. What does W mean in sports?

Win

"W" is a one-letter abbreviation representing the number of victories a player or team has achieved. You will often see it in win-loss columns that keep track of a team's or player's record.

While you will most likely see "W" as a stat, you might also see people say it aloud or type it in the comments sections of videos to brag about a team or player. Online gamers also commonly invoke the W to proclaim a victory over their opponent.

The opposite of W is L, which, as you probably guessed, is an abbreviation for "loss." If you are competitive, you never want to "take the L."

Example

We couldn't get the W today and disappointed our fans

You'll get 'em next time!

Winning

If someone comments "W" on social media, they are remarking that a person or thing is winning in life. People use it to encourage others that what they are doing is good or successful.

For example, if your friend posts a pic of the new car she just purchased, you might comment "W." Or you might post a "W" on your sister's Instagram story about how she finally got her daughter potty-trained.

While you might see W anywhere on the Internet, you will most likely see it on social sites where some people want to affirm others (but most want to decimate each other). It is especially prevalent on TikTok.
