Comment FUBAR! (Score 1) 75
As an VAX 780 veteran will tell you, FUBAR stands
for Failed Unibus Address Register. This was basically a write-only register that, immediately
after being written, was put into the dump file
generated before the machine successfully rebooted.
Of course, it also comes from the same WWII genesis as SNAFU.
