For a long time, I used to think people were (sarcastically) using it as "Play to Win", or "Pay to Win"

PAY TO WIN, obviously, because Toady is about to announce micro-transactions in the next patch so you can just swipe your credit card to get the best gear for your dwarves.

And swipe a third time to make them equip it properly instead of bashing their foes with a breastplate.
