FAQ /F-A-Q/ or /fak/ n.
[Usenet] 1. A Frequently Asked Question. 2. A compendium of
accumulated lore, posted periodically to high-volume newsgroups
in an attempt to forestall such questions. Some people prefer the
term `FAQ list' or `FAQL' /fa'kl/, reserving `FAQ' for sense
1.
This lexicon itself serves as a good example of a collection
of one kind of lore, although it is far too big for a regular FAQ
posting. Examples: "What is the proper type of NULL?" and "What's
that funny name for the # character?" are both
Frequently Asked Questions. Several FAQs refer readers to this
file.
