TFA? Tried to google but unsuccessful
- wgjordan 7y agoThe (forementioned) article, I would imagine.
- hyperion2010 7y agoThe aForementioned Article the F is usually something else though ...
- axaxs 7y agoThe (Fuc|Frea)king Article. In a similar spirit to RTFM.
- ddebernardy 7y agoTFA is Slashdot jargon for "The F'ing Article".
- mgalgs 7y agoTFA on Slashdot... Takes me back to the good old days of 2007...
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoI've seen lots of valid variants, including and probably not limited to: The feature article ; the freaking article ; the friendly article ; the f$%^&*( article, c.f. RTFM.
- simias 7y agoI personally go with "The Fine Article" in my mind when I write it, although obviously all these alternatives are possible. I first encountered this initialism on slashdot back when it was still relevant, although I don't know if it was coined there. And yeah, I believe that it derives from "RTFA" (read the fucking article) which would be what you told people who obviously commented without reading the article.
- gpderetta 7y agoThe original, as documented in the hacker dictionary, is of course RTFM (read the f...ine manual).
- codezero 7y agoNot sure it’s the origin, but it used to be RTFM (read the fucking manual).
- sjwright 7y agoRTFM has been mostly superseded by LMGTFY.
- tingletech 7y agoAlso read "read the fine manual"
- loeg 7y agoThe Fine Article.
- thatsenough 7y agoThe Fabulous Article.
