RTFM: Read The Fine(Fucking 説もあり) Manual

Rook は Luke かな？元々 George Lukas 監督のもじりなので．

と思って jargon file を見ると，こうなってますね．

UTSL // /n./

[Unix] On-line acronym for `Use the Source, Luke' (a pun on Obi-Wan
Kenobi's "Use the Force, Luke!" in "Star Wars") -- analogous to RTFS
(sense 1), but more polite. This is a common way of suggesting that
someone would be better off reading the source code that supports
whatever feature is causing confusion, rather than making yet another
futile pass through the manuals, or broadcasting questions on Usenet
that haven't attracted wizards to answer them.

ちなみに RTFM も引いておこう．こっちは Fucking を出してるな．

RTFM /R-T-F-M/ /imp./

[Unix] Acronym for `Read The Fucking Manual'. 1. Used by gurus to
brush off questions they consider trivial or annoying. Compare Don't
do that, then!. 2. Used when reporting a problem to indicate that you
aren't just asking out of randomness. "No, I can't figure out how to
interface Unix to my toaster, and yes, I have RTFM." Unlike sense 1,
this use is considered polite. See also FM, RTFAQ, RTFB, RTFS, RTM,
all of which mutated from RTFM, and compare UTSL.
