As in, RTFA?

Precisely. But I feel like I see “TFA” on its own more often, even though it’s obviously referencing “RTFA” as an abbreviation and as an idea.
That said, RTFA could probably be up there too.

Added FPP (as opposed to a post started by a commenter back here).
BTW, I’m too lazy to look – is this Gossary linked in the BB Guidelines/TOS? Certainly should be.

I’m new to this topic, but I’ll give it a try. Please let me know if this works for you, @bluehenbear.
Kapo – Originally a term for a Nazi concentration camp prisoner (often a hardened criminal) given policing or other supervisory powers over his fellow prisoners (along with attendant privileges). They usually either ended up as dead as or, if they lived, despised by their fellows whom they betrayed. Wikipedia
Now a pejorative term for a member of an oppressed or discriminated-against group who foolishly and/or opportunistically collaborates with the oppressor of his fellow group members.
Contemporary examples: Glen Greenwald, a gay man who defends anti-LGBTQ+ bigot Putin; Ben Shapiro, a Jewish man who continually sides with and supports the agenda of right-wing anti-Semites.
