I was 22 before I realized that the little towels on hanging rings by the faucet were for drying your hands, because when I was young and asked what they were for, my mother told me they were decorative and I wasn't allowed to touch them. Contrecoup isn't obscure, extinct, or near-unknown by any stretch of the imagination, it's standard medical terminology used to describe something that happens in a traumatic brain injury. Considering football is still a thing, it gets used quite a bit.

FUBAR is an acronym for "hosed up beyond all repair". Or at least that's what I've puzzled out after staring at it cluelessly in the past.

There was a whole running gag on this in Saving Private Ryan. Oh, I guess repair is also valid, I've just never heard that variant. hogmartin has a new favorite as of 15:02 on Nov 14, 2016 |

I don't think anyone in the military really says either these days, once they migrated to civilian usage they weren't cool enough for the cool kids anymore.

Secondhand since I'm not in the military, but I've heard IGAF (I Give A gently caress) is popular. It is not a term used when you give a gently caress. The guy I heard it from has made great use of the term while working in IT.

Intoluene posted:I only worked out the first few letters of this one. Dude just google it http://www.meaningsan.com/what-does-stand-for/smdftb The acronym SMDFTB has a life path number 1. Having the life path number one implies that you are a pioneer or creator. Blending together a strong will and confidence.

I've realized the last few days that if you undercook the rice for your tomato rice soup, reheating the soup for leftovers doesn't change the fact you mildly undercooked the rice.
