You know, I had a fit the other day because no one knew what BFE or FUBAR meant! I thought that was common knowledge. I mean, really, both have been around since WWII along with SNAFU. Out of 50 people I quizzed at my hospital, only 2 people knew the meaning and they were both over 50!

I've never heard it...but thanks, it's nice to know! And NYC is totally not BFE!

You've learned a good term for the boondocks! We use it quite frequently in the south.

I'm a fan of BOHICA, which goes along nicely with snafu and fubar.
