Everyone talking about "biff" should be aware that it's actually "bttf" like "back to the future"

Don't jump to the conclusion that they all mis-read the name several hours ago, though.

There's a commit message that says otherwise:

> The new name, bttf, is a backronym for "biff, time to format!"

It credits this comment:

However, "back to the future" might be more memorable. I'm surprised they didn't see it.

Not to be confused with "biff" from "back to the future"
