FTFM

"From the Fucking Manual." Used to introduce a quote from a product's documentation in response to a question about that product posed in online forums, usenet, IRC, email, etc.

Using the term FTFM, like RTFM (Read the Fucking Manual) from which is was derived, tells a person that they should have read the manual before asking. Unlike RTFM, however, FTFM is used when the person responding actually wants to provide a useful answer.

Question: "Is it possible to pass sudo a password from stdin instead of the command prompt?"

Answer: "Yes, it is. FTFM:

Options

-S stdin, read the password from the standard input instead of the terminal."

F*** The F***ing Manual

Men don't need manuals or directions... Throw it out and figure it out yourself

Bill's wife nagged him to put that treadmill together, so he looked at the instructions. The pictures were big with not enough detail, it was written in 15 languages none of which told him exactly what to do. He yelled FTFM, threw the directions out and figured it out for himself!

Striver

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh

SkyPesos

Delta SkyMiles, also known as SkyPesos, is the frequent flyer program of Delta Airlines. It has a very poor value and hard to use.

- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.
