Camelman,
SNAFU = Situation Normal All Fouled (F****d) Up.
Or
FUBAR = Fouled (F****d) Up But All Right.
Right Stixanstones???
Sorry Camelman, in Salalah, know nothing about SQU.

I drank from the water.

I agree with you Denise. Check out wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FUBAR
Duffy picked out a new version of the long time military acronym that is used by the software industry which means pretty much the opposite of the original meaning. |

What the heck!!
This does not help our friend with his/her quest for info regarding "Sohar University" (Which I think is SQU??) I mean, is there a Uni in Sohar????
Has the CoAS achieved that status already??? Anyone care to comment??
Duffy
WOW!! just did the "Wiki" thing - never knew all those references to the acronyms!!!! |
