The answer is FUBAR.
In military lingo, the term "FUBAR" stands for "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition." It's used to describe a situation or condition that is extremely damaged, chaotic, or beyond repair. Originating during World War II, "FUBAR" became a shorthand way for soldiers to express the severity of a situation where things had gone disastrously wrong.
The term implies a state of utter disarray or dysfunction that renders the situation nearly unrecognizable or irreparable. It can apply to various scenarios, from equipment malfunction to mission failure, where the damage or chaos is so severe that normal operations are disrupted or impossible.
Despite its explicit connotation, "FUBAR" has become a colloquialism used beyond the military context to describe any situation that has gone disastrously awry or is in a state of irreparable damage. Therefore, when someone refers to something as "FUBAR," it's a vivid expression of just how badly things have gone wrong.
