Snafu

Snafu… what exactly does it mean?  And where did it come from?

There is some profanity in this lesson, so, not for the kids if that concerns you.

Here is a funny old movie with the word sanfu and booby trap (two words/phrases that I have done).

Thanks prospero811 for pointing it out :-)

    F.U.B.A.R. = “Fucked Up Beyond All Repair/Recognition”

    Would your acronym be “fubar” or f***ed up beyond any repair?

    Yes FUBAR…fu..ed up beyond all recognition.

    This origined from GI’s fighting in Germany during second World War 2. They heard the Krauts say “Furchtbar” very often, which means as much as CRUEL.
    And because Americans weren’t very skilled and talented in german language they said the word incorrectly and this sounded like “FUBAR”…and because this soldiers didn’t know the right meaning they just sais that from now on it should be a shortening.

    I hope you did understand me, because i am not very talented in english language either^^
