SPAM isn't an acronym, right? It's short for spiced ham.

From Wikipedia:
Quote:

Hormel developed America's first canned ham (Hormel Flavor-Sealed Ham) in 1926, and eleven years later developed the first canned meat product that did not require refrigeration. It was a distinctive chopped pork shoulder and ham mixture developed by Jay C. Hormel, son of Hormel founder George A. Hormel, and marketed as Hormel Spiced Ham - not a terribly inspiring name for an innovative product fated to save lives, win wars, and balance diets of people world wide.

I'm a big fan of FUBAR, & especially like the fact there's a handy  tool by the same name.

But here are two others that are good, and haven't been mentioned here:

BFS
RBFS

I haven't looked at these lately (hopefully they haven't been lost to Political Correctness run amock), but they are the codes Home Depot uses on their in-store advertising signs, and they're printed right on the signs for re-ordering.
They stand for Big Fucking Sign and Really Big Fucking Sign, respectively.

Reminds me of the time some British doctors got in trouble when someone decided to tell people the true meaning of some of the inscriptions they'd put on their prescriptions, including TATP: "thick as two planks", meaning "stupid"

'Minds me of a line from "The Odd Couple."  Oscar Madison is ranting about a note he found that was signed FU, and he says something like "It took me an hour to figure out that FU meant Felix Unger!"

Neil Simon claims to have been surprised by the dirtier meaning derived by the audience.  I give him the benefit of a doubt, and say his subconscious was working overtime.

FU is also most conspicuously the monogram of Prime Minister Francis Urquhart -- the scoundrel.
