I must be dense, what is TFA? I thought it was the blogger, but it looks like his name is Terence Eden. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.



The effing Article (TFA)


Ah, thanks. That was one of my lesser guesses, but it's always hard to tell. I try not to assume swearing if I'm not 100% sure.


TFA is HN parlance to refer to the article. It’s not really profane, some people expand it to “the fine article”, but in my usage it has meaning independent of its expansion, akin to how lol does not actually refer to laughing out loud.


"the fucking article"
