Regular users contribute the summaries and vote to decide which one sums it up most precisely. Right now, the acronym WTF itself is the seventh most popular search term on Technorati…

Update: Mind you, WTF is fallible – look up “global warming” and you’ll see a war in the WTFs between people trying to say that global warming is nonsense or that it’s important and people just wanting to sell something. Hooray.
