 The Question:
In the movie Saving Private Ryan, they
used the pharse "fubar." Can you please tell me what it means?
The Answer:
FUBAR is a colorful acronym, probably
of military origin, standing for "Fouled
Up Beyond
All Recognition."
"Fouled" may also be replaced by something less
family-friendly.
A similar term, also of military origin, is
"SNAFU"—"Situation
Normal, All
Fouled Up" . . . or
words to that effect.
