The F*ing Article... probably evolved from RTFM. Hacker culture, so warm and welcoming, isn't it?


That usage was deprecated by RFC19647. The correct definition is now 'The Featured Article'.


The abbreviation gives some plausible deniability - it could be "the fine article"!


I've usually seen it as The Fine Article, but tastes vary. b^)
