FTFM

"From the Fucking Manual." Used to introduce a quote from a product's documentation in response to a question about that product posed in online forums, usenet, IRC, email, etc.

Using the term FTFM, like RTFM (Read the Fucking Manual) from which is was derived, tells a person that they should have read the manual before asking. Unlike RTFM, however, FTFM is used when the person responding actually wants to provide a useful answer.

Question: "Is it possible to pass sudo a password from stdin instead of the command prompt?"

Answer: "Yes, it is. FTFM:

Options

-S stdin, read the password from the standard input instead of the terminal."

F*** The F***ing Manual

Men don't need manuals or directions... Throw it out and figure it out yourself

Bill's wife nagged him to put that treadmill together, so he looked at the instructions. The pictures were big with not enough detail, it was written in 15 languages none of which told him exactly what to do. He yelled FTFM, threw the directions out and figured it out for himself!

Find The Fucking Manual. Response to a cheap person buying a piece of used hardware and expcting a smart person to tell them what the specifications are or how it works.

He could have easily found what he wanted on the manufacturer's web site. I told him to FTFM.
