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: "F___ed Up But All Right," meaning that the system design is fatally flawed, but works anyway.
