All the weird acronyms

We use a lot of acronyms. It became a habit... BUT some acronyms, sometimes you say "What?" What's some of acronyms you heard that make you tilt your head?

Recent one for me is FUBAR... Fcked Up Beyond All Recognition

I could fill pages since the military runs on the damn things! There was one conversation I had with Cole that used about 10 real words through the whole thing everybody else was all WTF.
FUBAR has it's origin from the army as a matter of fact.




Couple of generic ones we could use here:
NFG - no fucking good
FNG - Fucking new guy

Maybe a new use but the NFG as no fucking good goes back to WW2. We even used to mark it on malfunctioning equipment in a quasi official manner. It may have actually stood for something official once upon a time.

I am actually very surprised that it isn't better known. Maybe it is more a Canadian/Military thing. Every place I have ever worked had something marked as NFG.
