Flashermac Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Fubar goes back to WWII at least ... "FUBAR stands for fucked up beyond all recognition/repair/reason. Like SNAFU and SUSFU, it dates from World War II. The Oxford English Dictionary lists Yank, the Army Weekly magazine (1944, 7 Jan. p. 8) as its earliest citation: "The FUBAR squadron. ‥ FUBAR? It means 'Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_slang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
