FUBAR is an acronym for "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition." A more sanitized version of this phrase is "Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition."

The inexperienced Corporal Upham is originally told that FUBAR is a German word. It is only later, during the preparations for the defense of Ramelle, that Private Mellish tells Upham the real meaning of the acronym.
