This misspelling brought to you by foobar.

Foobar: for when you are too polite to say FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition).

My two favourites lakes in the Yukon - SNAFU and TARFU (Things are Really Fued Up).

Named, of course, by the Army when they built the Alaska Highway.

I had never given any thought to this word as I had heard and used it since childhood, had no idea that was the origin!
