The hashtag "old" is often seen on french tweets (and it makes sense the "timeline" aspect make it a challenge to avoid redundancy.

Hello everyone,
I'm interested in cultural norms and expressions of an "obligation to know." In the hacker realm this is well developed: clue (cluestick, clue-by-four), asshats, newbies (newbs), RTFM (Read the "Fine" Manual), lazyweb, etc. In minority (e.g., race, sex, gender) studies there's the notion of privilege, *-centrism, and the idea that it is not the obligation of the oppressed to have to educate the ignorant majority. In popular culture, there's "Topic 101."
Can you offer any other examples? Do you know how I might trace the linguistic origins of "101"? (How and when did it first become popular?) Can you point me to any related literature? (For example, Coleman's (2012) discussion of RTFM in her recent "Coding Freedom," or Lori Kendall's (2008) "'Noobs' and 'chicks' on Animutation Portal.")
If so, many thanks!
