Whisky Tango Foxtrot 

A more discrete way of saying or writing "WTF" or saying "What The Fuck?". Or a way of asking "What the Fuck?" in less offensive words.

What The Fuck? = WTF

WTF = Whisky Tango Foxtrot

When there are people around you and you wan to be descreet.

You - Hey, Whisky Tango Foxtrot?
friend - I don't know what she's pissed off about.

Whisky Tango Foxtrot 

"What the fuck?"

Based on the police (and military) call sign alphabet where "Whisky" is "W", "Tango" is "T", and "Foxtrot" is "F". For use in situations where swearing would be unwise, such as at work or around minors.

To be used only as an interjection.

It got up to 80 degrees in October! Whisky Tango Foxtrot?!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Phonetic Alphabet: Originated in the US Navy.
e.g. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and so on..
The expression "cuss like a sailor" made the Navy look unprofessional or so they say-so in an effort to clean up the language used by Officers and Superiors. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
was adopted and has since then spread to the online community.
This ofcourse is means What The Fuck expressed with more emphasis on the *What the FUCK* of an alarming situation.

Officer: "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot shipmate...Just where do you think your skating off to?"

online gamer: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...watch your fire!
