"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?"

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!
