Okay, I give up

I've been back at DU for about three months after a protracted absence, and since my return I've seen "TSF," in apparent relation to The Felon, maybe a hundred times, but never spelled out.

I'm tired of guessing. What's it stand for?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Not my OP but I was wondering too. Thank you.

Also, finding out Biden has it in him to call anyone TSF makes me like him more. 😀

Calling The Felon "the sick fuck" just makes it better.

A different endearing name. I’m much happier that way.

(for "subscript" ) before and after the text.

DU used to have a switch like "[tiny]" or something that made cleaner small text, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

Theoretically, I guess, you could do that to infinity. In reality, though, it'd eventually become too small to be reproducable or recognizable.
