Growing up, I thought that word was a modern invention. It was in fact (along with the word "snafu") invented by American GI's during WWII. Saw a documentary on PBS about them.
Everyone knows what fubar is: "fudged up beyond all recognition." (obviously cleaned it up) I had never heard what snafu meant until the documentary. "situation normal; all fudged up." Cleaned it up again.
