Jim Thanks for the etymology. Now that I've read your message I'm sure that FOOBAR is from '40s military slang (similar to SNAFU). Thanks again. Gary

It does sound kind of military at that. Maybe an acronym, FUBAR: F***** Up But All Right That doesn't sound quite right, but I think you may be on the right track.
