Do you know what snafu is defined as? I’m guessing you don’t, most poeple think of snafu as a mixup or a mistake but that is only a current common meaning.

Snafu originated as an acronym during World War II. It stands for Situation Normal: All ‘Fouled” Up. At its begining and in a less family friendly way Situation Normal: All F**ked Up.

The things you learn from elderly churchgoers.
