It means fort worth, TX. Like how when people say they're from the NYNJ area, it actually means new jersey

To be totally fair, it's easier to write NY than NYNJ, but it's not easier to write Dallas than DFW. (You could just write D, I guess, but no one's going to understand that.)

You sound like someone who's never been here. There are dozens of cities that make up the metroplex between Dallas and Fort Worth and it takes less time to say DFW than to attempt to explain where exactly the town is located.

Let me guess - you don't live in Dallas
