In a "word" : s/STFA/STFAQ/ From ESR's Jargon File v4.4.4 (some hacker culture, yes) See links for more precise definitions... RTFM Read The Fucking Manual http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/R/RTFM.html RTM, Read The Manual http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/R/RTM.html STFW Search The Fucking Web http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/S/STFW.html GIYF Google Is Your Friend http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/G/GIYF.html RTFAQ, Read the FAQ! http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/R/RTFAQ.html RTFS, Read The Fucking Source or Read The Fucking Standard http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/R/RTFS.html RTS, Read The Screen http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/R/RTS.html Perhaps we could add this link to the Newbie Guide ( found this in archives and with s/tuxedo/catb/ ) How To Ask Questions The Smart Way, by Eric Steven Raymond http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Yes, I like authoritative answers ;-) Christophe
