RTFM

( /R·T·F·M/, imp.)

   [Unix] Abbreviation for `Read The Fucking Manual'.

   1.  Used  by  {guru}s 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 {FM}, {RTFAQ}, {RTFB}, {RTFS}, {STFW},
   {RTM}, all of which mutated from RTFM, and compare {UTSL}.
