Oh, yeah.. I forgot FUBAR.... I just remembered:

FUD      Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
BRB      Be Right Back
FYI      For Your Information

BTW, does anybody know where "foobar" came from? It's always used in
programming examples ("foo" and "bar"), and I hear it came from FUBAR,
but I don't know how the U turned into OO. (I also heard the 'F' as
"fouled", instead of umm, you know... Makes the discussions uncensored.
