OK, so I've got ways to go on all the abbreviations running around here, but I thought that I'd share this with you all.

I've seen 'QFT' posted on a lot of posts and I wanted to know what it stood for. I searched in google and this is the first result I got,

Quantum field theory

That stumped me for 5 mins on the intelligence level of our posters here. Were they all so much more advanced than me? Or was I just plain stupid?

The 4th search result gave me this - "Queen's Film Theatre".

By now, I knew that something strange was going on somewhere...

Finally at the 6th link I found what I was looking for, "Quoted For Truth" .

Still, that first impression I got was something. Just thought that I'd share the experience. :)

Its QFT, not QTF.

And depending on context its either qouted for truth or quit fucking talking.

when he had it listed as QTF it really could have meant "Quote The Fail"

Quit Fucking Talking is a deprecated meaning, IMO. A while back it could mean either, but unless the context is painfully obvious I take it to mean "for truth"

Possible, but wrong.

Now I'm gonna think quantum field theory every time I see QFT.
