Author: nekholm http://rtfm.urbanup.com/3575422. (rtfm) (1028↑, 86↓)Literally "Read The F**king Manual"; a term showing the frustration of being bothered with questions so trivial that the asker could have quickly figured out the answer on their own with minimal effort, usually by reading readily-available documents. People who say "RTFM\!" might be considered rude, but the true rude ones are the annoying people who take absolutely no self-responibility and expect to have all the answers handed to them personally."Damn, that's the twelveth time that somebody posted this question to the messageboard today\! RTFM, already\!"

(rtfm) (24↑, 3↓)Proponents of such acronyms encouraging new users to look the information up themselves are often discouraging questions that could easily be answered using the FAQs, Wiki or Google. RTFM frequents questions that common sense should have precluded asking. Some may choose to reply in this fashion rather than leaving the newbie without a response so as to clarify what types of questions are considered inappropriate, unintelligent or inconsiderate of others' time. originally: "read the field manual" used by WWII soldiers when asked basic questions by new enlistees. rtfm quickly spread to engineering, computer & technical fields, and has gained popularity with internet usage. its applicability has increased dramatically with the advent of wiki, where the answer is already at everyone's fingertips.then: rookie: how am i supposed to clean this m1? veteran: read the field manual. now: noob: how do i install linux? 1337: rtfm \@ linux.org/docs/beginner/install.html polite usage that will increase likelihood of a helpful response: newbie: how do i...? i have already rtfm.

Author: rodrigo roga http://rtfm.urbanup.com/278649521. (RTFM) (225↑, 306↓)RTFM is Internet-speak for "Repeat the first message". It is used when the message did not transfer over the Internet properly. If someone tells you to RTFM, be patient with them, and copy-and-paste your original message several times. Also, typing the message with capslock on will improve the chances that it will get through (similar to yelling at a brick wall, telephone, or foreigner).miket65\> how do i change the color of links redjl\> omg rtfm n00b miket65\> ok miket65\> how do i change the color of links redjl\> RTFM miket65\> HOW CAN I CHANGE THE COLOR OF LINKS miket65\> HOW CAN I CHANGE THE COLOR OF LINKS redjl\> Message received.
