In my opinion, it’s slightly better than [Just Fucking Google It](http://justfuckinggoogleit.com/), which serves no _other_ purpose than being patronizing. LMGTFY actually gives results.

If it popped up in the Game Room, I’d OK it, barring extraneous snark. For instance, a single LMGTFY link in the post would go through but a “LMGTFY link, dumbass” wouldn’t.

Of course, I’ve been brought up with the “google twice, post once” rule. YMMW.
