For example, it's codified in Eric Raymond's FAQ How to Ask Questions 
the Smart Way.

<http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html>

"RTFM and STFW: How To Tell You've Seriously Screwed Up

"There is an ancient and hallowed tradition: if you get a reply that 
reads “RTFM”, the person who sent it thinks you should have Read The 
Fucking Manual. He or she is almost certainly right. Go read it.

"RTFM has a younger relative. If you get a reply that reads “STFW”, the 
person who sent it thinks you should have Searched The Fucking Web. He 
or she is almost certainly right. Go search it.
