Generally, when something is FUBAR, it is not good. FUBAR is an acronym that commonly means "F____ed Up Beyond All Repair", "F___ed Up Beyond Any Recognition," or the most common translation "F___ed Up Beyond All Recognition."

Variations
Sometimes, "F___ed" is replaced with "Fouled."
Depending on situation or habit, "all" can be replaced with "any," and "repair" can be replaced with either "redemption," "recognition," "rescue," "reality," "recovery," "relief," or "reason."
FUBAR has sometimes been used in software development in the almost opposite sense: "Fucked Up But All Right," meaning that the system design is fatally flawed, but works anyway.

Cars
- drive it off a cliff
- rev 10 grand for 5 minutes

Computers
