For a more sensible answer, I use "The Featured Article"

Similar to how RTFM stands for "Read The Fabulous Manual"

I didn’t know what TFA was and my best guess was “the full article”. This makes me realize RTFM could also be interpreted as read the full manual, which feels amusing.

I've always understood the F in any of these to translate to "fine" when in ahem polite company. Same number of characters.

[EDIT] LOL wow that justification is wrong, forgot about the 'ing'. Still, that's the word I've usually seen subbed.

If anyone is curious, the historical context for this (probably) comes from Slashdot, circa the year 2000, typical use is/was "I didn't RTFA, but..." or "did you even RTFA?, because..."
