Please don't say, or think, that you are stupid. tfg is just a current acronym to avoid saying his name.

It can mean 'the former guy" or more crudely "that fu**ing guy".

I want to emphasize what others have said here, that you are not stupid for not knowing what TFG means. Besides what it means, it is an acronym, and acronyms are always tripping people up. They do to the flow of prose what a dead cow does to the flow of a stream, unless they are in common parlance, like MPG, DNA, and USA. Acronyms drive me crazy.

My town, Lexington MA, has a year old paper, the Lexington Observer, and the one writer is constantly coining new acronyms. Here's a sentence from the latest issue: "Richard Perry, an SPRD committee member and builder in town, added that the pandemic had contributed to a demand for larger homes, especially with the proliferation of remote work."

I have no idea what SPRD stands for.
