- This initialism comes about from the popular television show Jersey Shore. DTF is one of many terms used by the cast of the MTV series, but has grown to a level of popularity not seen by the others. Perhaps the finality and aggression inherent to the term resulted in its expanded use by party-goers. The statement is clear and leaves no room for questioning. Furthermore, it presents a black and white problem: either someone is or is not DTF, there is no middle ground. This simplification is essential for the minds of the intoxicated, who often cannot understand the complexities of a middle ground emotional reaction.
