History[]
According to UrbanDictionary.com, a WTF train basically refers a series of "WTF" (unexpected) moments. A Rickroll is probably a common example of a WTF moment, when sometimes a link unexpectedly redirects to this YouTube viral video (and Internet meme). A usage of this word could include: "OMG, I feel like I was hit by the WTF train. Today was Friday the 13th!"
Usage of the WTF Train in TTS videos[]
The WTF Train was commonly used in TTS videos, however, it's meaning had changed. In Sailor Moon Says's "WTF Train Advert," the WTF Train was a normal train that took people away from their WTF moments. The advertisement went as (roughly):
"Are you tired of trains that run so slow you die of what the heckness? Then try the WTF train. The WTF train is a special train- whenever you see a WTF moment like this- [insert disturbing image here], just say "My WTF train goes chugga chugga WTF WTF..." and the WTF train will take you away from the WTF moment!"
