Hi,
I have been entering twitter competitions and some of them say RT which I know is retweet but some say FW or FLW and not sure what they mean.
If anyone could help it would be fantastic.

Both mean to follow. You might see 'Fav' too which means favourite (click the star).0

Hate when they say F & R. F could be follow or favourite (although, usually it would be follow but end up doing all 3 to be sure).
