RTFM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
RTFM is an initialism
for the statement "Read The Fucking Manual". This instruction is usually given
in response to a question which the responder knows or believes can be answered
easily by reading relevant documentation, and suggests that the inquirer may be
wasting people's time.
In computer technical support it also commonly refers
to "Reboot The Fucking Machine," an aptly prescribed first line of
troubleshooting that has been widely recognized to solve a great majority of
computer problems. It implies exasperation at minimal problem-solving
initiative.
To avoid the use of the expletive "fucking" in the statement (which is
offensive to some people), the "F" is often translated to another adjective,
such as "Freaking", "Flaming", "Full", "Fine", "Friendly", "Fabulous",
"Fascinating", or (especially for programmers) "FORTRAN". Alternatively, the "F"
can be dropped entirely and the initialism rendered as "RTM" (Read The Manual).
