Can you help me out with an expansion of "TFA", when used to refer to the original post in comments? I simply don't believe that every commenter is using it to mean "The Fucking Article" in comments that are otherwise devoid of aggression or profanity.

I can't speak for anybody else, but when I see "TFA" I do indeed translate it as "The Fucking Article". But if it makes you feel better you can think of it as "The Friggin' Article" or "The Fine Article" or something else less profane.
