FUBAR n.
The Failed UniBus Address Register in a VAX. A good example of
how jargon can occasionally be snuck past the suits; see foobar,
and foo for a fuller etymology.
Node:fuck me harder, Next:FUD, Previous:FUBAR, Up:= F
=
fuck me harder excl.
Sometimes uttered in response to egregious misbehavior, esp.
in software, and esp. of misbehaviors which seem unfairly
persistent (as though designed in by the imp of the perverse).
Often theatrically elaborated: "Aiighhh! Fuck me with a
piledriver and 16 feet of curare-tipped wrought-iron fence
and no lubricants!" The phrase is sometimes heard
abbreviated `FMH' in polite company.
[This entry is an extreme example of the hackish habit of
coining elaborate and evocative terms for lossage. Here we see a
quite self-conscious parody of mainstream expletives that has
become a running gag in part of the hacker culture; it
illustrates the hackish tendency to turn any situation, even one
of extreme frustration, into an intellectual game (the point
being, in this case, to creatively produce a long-winded
description of the most anatomically absurd mental image possible
-- the short forms implicitly allude to all the ridiculous long
forms ever spoken). Scatological language is actually relatively
uncommon among hackers, and there was some controversy over
whether this entry ought to be included at all. As it reflects a
live usage recognizably peculiar to the hacker culture, we feel
it is in the hackish spirit of truthfulness and opposition to all
forms of censorship to record it here. --ESR & GLS]
