IIRC

[long1776]

I'm new to this forum, Dec 2009, but I'm going through all old posts, slowly but surely. I still haven't been able to figure out what IIRC means; I can't even guess.

It usually takes me longer to remember the correct acronym than it does to just type in the words.

FUBAR........I know what this one means.[:0]

[buddymander]

Is this stuff gonna be on the final? Cuz I'm learning stuff I thought I already knew. But I can't quite figure out "fubar". I always thought it was just a word. Kinda like how I learned "PTL" meant "Pass The Loot" before I finally realized what it really meant.

Military service is a wonderfully educational experience. I recommend it highly.

FUBAR is closely related to SNAFU, probably the same military origin...
