    FUBAR, SNAFU, BOHICA...and others. All are used in many places, especially in the military. I&#39;m sure if you do a search for it on Google or something you&#39;ll find many more as well.


    A little on the subject, how many have heard acronyms for the US ARMY tapes?

    US ARMY ***--&#62; ***Uncle Sam Aint Released Me Yet

    US ARMY ***<-- ***Yes My Retarded Ass Signed Up

    About the German origin: It comes probably from the word furchtbar ~ horrible,terrible.
