Hi WhoCares, you are an angel![&o][&o][&o]. They should brief us of this acronymfinder.com when we first surf the forum. Some of us don't ask for fear of sound like ignorant fools.[:D]

Sanitized military abbreviations - replace "fouled" with an *explitive deleted*:

SNAFU - Situation Normal All Fouled Up
TARFU - Things Are Really Fouled Up
FUBAR - Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition

(I think that they are in the proper order of fouled up)

Another one:

BOHICA - Bend Over Here It Comes Again
