RTFM /R-T-F-M/ imp.
[Unix] Abbreviation for `Read The Fucking Manual'. 1. Used by
gurus to brush off questions they
consider trivial or annoying. Compare Don't do that then!. 2. Used
when reporting a problem to indicate that you aren't just asking
out of randomness. "No, I can't
figure out how to interface Unix to my toaster, and yes, I have
RTFM." Unlike sense 1, this use is considered polite. See also
