FAQ

While we dont often think of FAQs as slang, Frequently

Asked Questions werent common usage until the early
1980s when Eugene Miya needed a way to limit newbie
questions on NASAs SPACE mailing list. Technically,
subscribers were supposed to download an entire database of
old questions and read through them before asking new ones.
Instead, Eugene gathered those frequently asked questions
into one document for easy, efficient downloading. This
concept spread to Usenet, where it eventually took on the
abbreviation FAQ, and it became netiquette to read the FAQ
page before asking newbie questions.
Fun Fact: Some people think it stands for Frequently
Answered Questions.
