I believe this is a Hookism: fucked up beyon all recognition.. It's not quite a Hook-ism....but it does mean Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition. I learned it in the Reserves, hehe. |

FUBAR fits quite nicely with another military acronym (on this side of the pond, anyway).
SNAFU

I love FUBAR. So do I. I used it once here though, and someone didn't know what it meant, so I had the pleasure of explaining it to her.  Rainbow, I will give you the pleasure of explaining what FUBAR and AWOL means since I have no idea eventhough I have been here for the last few months... (I was always ashamed to ask...) EDIT: OOps I read further and learned already what FUBAR means, but still no clue on AWOL |

FUBAR = F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition AWOL = Absent Without Leave. |

Thanks Bluesoup, that was fast. My mother's tongue is French so a lot of time those abbreviations are a bit hard for me to translate. But from now on, I will push my pride on the side and just ask damnit!  |

Well...considering she asked the question like two and a half hours ago, Rainbow, I'm not surprised.  |

Hey, no problem, Blue, just kidding. As long as the question got answered, that's the important thing. |

"ROTFLMAO" I am somewhat clueless when it comes to IM/aol acronyms, so this thread is very enlightening. LK, what does "D.I" stand for ?(Feel free to make me sound/look ridiculously stupid) |
