The featured article ;)

Edit: Sorry, the winky face was meant as sarcasm. I'm pretty sure most people mean "the fucking article", but there isn't any definition anywhere I can find. For now this is an acronym with, let's say, "reasonable doubt", about what it means.



etymologically spawned from 'RTFM'

TFA is not featured here.


"RTFM" -> "read TFA" is a fairly simple derivation.


I agree and I commented something similar above. I'd be curious though to see the original derivation. It wasn't immediately clear to me despite a long history with being told to "rtfm".


Oh much nicer than what I guessed. Haha
