whats is TFA ?

- danudey 2y ago"The f___ing article"
- VILINBR 2y agothanks
- codetrotter 2y agoIn polite terms it can also mean “the featured article”. And IMO it makes more sense to read it that way in a top-level comment. Whereas reading it as the f’ing article makes more sense when the word “TFA” is used in a response to another comment like “well, you say that but TFA said such and such”.
- freedomben 2y agoAgreed. I've also seen "The Fine Article"
- pimlottc 2y agoThis is the old school “polite” version, as in, “read the fine manual”
- 0xffff2 2y ago"The F-ing article" (derived from old internet slang "RTFM", for "Read the F-ing manual", a thing that new users were prone not to do before getting online and asking questions easily answered by RTFM.)
