TFA?
- fph 2y agoSlang for "the fine article". Comes from RTFA, "read the fine article". Or some other adjective of your preference that starts with F.
- swores 2y ago(Where 99% of use refers to fuck not fine.)
- jvanderbot 2y agoBut despite this, it's more often than not a comedic use rather than unkind.
- xandrius 2y agoDunno but RTFA was always presented to me in the less kind version, so it's pretty odd to see it when someone uses it in its positive spin.
- ska 2y agoTotally different typical usage: RTFA == "you should have actually read the article instead of wasting everyone's time" TFA == "referring specifically to the [original, in this context] article"
- SoftTalker 2y agoI always thought it was "The Featured Article" to be polite about it.
