Definition

An acronym too good to explain here that means a tactical situation has progressed beyond 'concerning' into 'we might need a drink' territory. Officially stands for 'Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition.'

Example Usage

After the supply drop landed in enemy territory, the sergeant muttered, 'Well, that's FUBAR.'

Origin

Popular military slang since WWII, later popularized in the 1998 film of the same name

Fun Fact

Officers use this term in reports, which is why it got the 'sanitized' meaning despite its colorful origins.
