Since when is Fubar a german word?! It's the short form of "fucked up beyond all recognition/repair/reason".

One of the most used german words is "uber", in german it means "above" in us-english its just for something thats really good, like uber good.

In WWII, US soldiers used "fubar" imported from the german word "furchtbar", which means terrible.

German is probably the second largest caucasian ethnic group in the United States. Alot of the descendants were the Hessian soldiers would settled here after the Revolutionary War. Another large migration of ethnic Germans to the US occured in the early to mid 1800s. Large German populations are still found in Wisconsin and there were 500 German newspapers published in America until...World War 1.
