I feel really stupid asking this question

[William769]

I know it's about donald trump (at least I think it is), What the hell does TGF stand for?

[Pachamama]

1. It's TFG

The Former Guy

[William769]

4. Thank you so much!

[Mister Ed]

17. President Biden inadvertently coined the term.

As I recall, there was a press conference early in his presidency in which a reporter asked President Biden a question about Trump. Biden shrugged off the question, saying, "Ahh, I'm not gonna talk about the former guy." People kinda picked it up and ran with it.

[11 Bravo]

2. Do you mean TFG? That would be The Former Guy.

TGF is a mystery to me.

[CurtEastPoint]

11. That stands for Trump: Get Fucked

[11 Bravo]

15. Works for me!

[gratuitous]

20. TGF is Thank Goodness it's Friday

And DAM is for Mothers Against Dyslexia.

[11 Bravo]

21. TGF is also what Eric Trump has printed on all of his shoes.

It's to remind him that Toes Go (in) First.

5. TFG The Former Guy

Or That F'ing Guy

No need to feel stupid. If you don't ask, you don't learn.

[Whiskeytide]

6. It's TFG. The Former Guy. Its a way to refer to him without using his name. n/t

[Tumbulu]

7. Here's how silly I am

I am a bit dyslexic and always thought it stood for “ the former guy” but that cannot be it!

“ The Goddamned Father”?

I’m with you, I don’t know.

[BlackSkimmer]

23. Yes, it's "the former guy."

[Freddie]

8. My Dad grew up in the Depression

Said that business types hated FDR so much they wouldn’t say his name, just That Man in the White House. That’s what TFG is about - we can’t say that persons name anymore.

[William769]

9. Thank you all for the replies & answer.

[ironflange]

10. TFG - That Fucking Grotesquerie

[Wicked Blue]

12. TGF used to mean Thank God it's Friday

back when i was a wee pup

[Claustrum]

13. It's TGIF not TGF

[Wicked Blue]

16. Ahem

Either way, Thank Goddess it's Friday!

[Claustrum]

24. I just remember Katy Perry had a song called Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)

I think they would get the abbreviation right. I don't ever recall seeing TGF at the time.

[Jerry2144]

19. I thought TGIF

Meant “Toes Go In First.” That’s why I have that printed on my socks. You mean it actually means something different?

[drray23]

14. As others as said the former guy. It was first used by President Biden.

In one of his speeches, he refers to Trump as the former guy instead of explicitly naming him...

[PJMcK]

18. It's never stupid to ask if you don't know something

One of my finest teachers told me that. He said it was stupid to NOT ask if there's something you don't know.

By now, you know how President Biden referred to his predecessor. Personally, I don't use nicknames for him because I think Trump is the ugliest word there is to describe that disgusting man.

[Groundhawg]

22. I asked the same question awhile back.

I said I thought it meant "That fucking guy" some members were ok with that explaination too,

[Mr.Bill]

25. I had a science teacher in high school

who had written at the top of his blackboard:

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

[Caliman73]

26. TGF is good too!!

Regarding Trump it can mean "That Giant F#ck"
