FUBAR, CYA, and others came from the military. I was kind of an inside joke. Making fun of the acronyms so common in the military.
I think they may go back to WWII.
They crept over to corporate organizations with the return of the Vets from the wars. At first it was code between those that ‘were there.’
I remember them as a child on an Air Force Base outside of Frankfurt, Germany late in the 50s.
(I was minus 10 then)
