What the hell, I'll play too.
 
One of my favorites is a word which is really an acronym.  I've heard that
it's an old Air Force term, but never having been in the Air Force, I
wouldn't know.  Here's the polite version:
 
SNAFU - Situation Normal, All Fouled Up
 
And in case you were wondering about FUBAR, it's Fouled Up Beyond All
Recognition (politely speaking).
 
Enjoy the day, it's Saturday!
