Offtopic but, why do people feel it's alright to refer to the article as The Fucking Article and on some other stuff they get all mad because someone used a curse word? The HN crowd is bipolar...



TFA stands for The Featured Article and always has, though I can understand your misapprehension because of RTFM which does use F as you suggest.


But remember to use fine if anybody important asks.


The "F" in RTFM stands for "First": http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/RTFM


It is as if they are different people!


Thank you all for the downvotes for asking a serious question that was really bugging me. I even bet the ones who downvoted didn't even took the time to answer. Cheers!


TFA has long history, and the OP should be right to use it without anyone getting hurt.
