I personally go with "The Fine Article" in my mind when I write it, although obviously all these alternatives are possible. I first encountered this initialism on slashdot back when it was still relevant, although I don't know if it was coined there.

And yeah, I believe that it derives from "RTFA" (read the fucking article) which would be what you told people who obviously commented without reading the article.

Not sure it’s the origin, but it used to be RTFM (read the fucking manual).

RTFM has been mostly superseded by LMGTFY.

Also read "read the fine manual"

The original, as documented in the hacker dictionary, is of course RTFM (read the f...ine manual).
