and the bozo award goes to...

Today I learned a new word through the kind teachings of Mel. The word is "fubar." 
After I so nievely asked the meaning of the word, I checked this out with others- family, friends, old, young- didn't matter- not only did they ALL know the meaning of the word, they could also cite the use of the word in movies, etc.
Well so much for no question is a dumb one huh!

Don't feel bad, Sheri. I used to think I was not naive. I've learned a whole bunch of new things here. Most of them are not repeatable. (at least not by me)

The one that's made its way into modern media, is SNAFU. "Due to operational snafus... blah blah blah.."
I've read that in a number of news articles, and it cracks me up.

Here's another one for your collection:

Yes.
I made up some cards that had that on it and I would hand them out to a select group of people once in a while. It drove them nuts trying to figure it out.

Ya know I see alot of biker dues with the patch DILLIGAF on there vests or jackets and thru the years thought it was the name of some loved one they'd lost from around here. Alot of people make patches 'in memory of' lost friends or family so it jus made sense to me that's what it stood for also and figured the person was well liked cu so many have the same patch. Then we are down in SC for bike week in Myrtle last year and I see some strange guy with the "same patch" (my first real vacation out of state for a week verses our weekend stuff at home)............rite away I grab Brad and anouther friend and pointed out that that guy had that patch on and MUST be from our area !!! Lucikly I didn't ASK the guy about it. I bout fainted when Brad told me what it stood for and had NOTHING to do with freinds......can't believe after all these years I didn't know that !! I'd of looked like such an ass if I "had" said somethin to that long hair'd bad ass lookin grungey biker guy that was also in a club.......shit shit shit. Dingy is my favorite word Pam

USCG--Uncle Sams Confused Group--old Coast Guard term. If you learned absolutely nothing from military life you would at least learn acronyms.
FTG, FTN, and my Coast Guard favorite: WTF, Over?
When I taught high school, I ended every class period with: "AMF--Addios, My Friends. " Then in February one year, a female senior said to me "Mr. Meyer, I know what AMF means and it's not 'Addios My Friends'." It took her 6 months to 'get' my humor. Gotta luv it.
CINCBowie--if you figure that out let me know.

My dad would do that when we worked on the boat and would write NFG in e-mails to me. I hated that.
