FUBAR Fouled Up Beyond All Repair

Hmmm...

[smoguzbenjamin]

Wasn't it F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition? Anyway, you could abbreviate your whole life with that list I have a friend who is addicted to sending text messages to her friends, she writes such cryptic messages that I simply can't read em

Definitive answer

Hmmm, the definitions for FUBAR are FUBAR!  

[smoguzbenjamin]

:mrgreen: absolutely :mrgreen:

[Samuel]

There are a couple of military aconyms like that that get "cleaned up" for polite conversation by using the British definition. FUBAR, as mentioned, and FUGAZI ("Fouled/F***ed Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In").

[puretube]

if you read "BTW" in Dutch magazines, ads or bills,
it is "VAT" (value added tax, in this case...)
