This post needed a bump. It was getting too far down. I found a few more this morning.

OCWCD     Obsessive Compulsive Wrench Collecting Disorder

I thought DPO stood for Dip$hit Previous Owner.  Maybe Oily actually revised his original post updating the list after the subsequent "missing" acronyms.


I'll add one or two;  FLAPS-Friendly Local Auto Parts Store(Salesperson)

It looks like the list is missing BFH -- Big F'n Hammer.

Also, I see the term FUBAR all the time but have no clue what it means... I can guess the first two letters, but need help with the last three.

Ietech,

Thank you.  I learned something today...

I believe FUBAR is from WWII

bgarrett, you are right on the WWII. The one that was used with it is 'SNAFU'  Situation Normal All F'..d Up'

A variation on FUBAR is "f***ed up beyond all repair".  This version was relayed to me by Navy chief petty officer.

Hkp = hk  porter
