I’m not sure about how appropriate the FUBAR acronym is in JPOS’ case.

‘Beyond all recognition’ implies change.

I don’t think JPOS has changed at all.

It’s just that with every single day that passes we’re learning more and more how FU he’s always been.

JPOS is not changing. Our knowledge about him is.

F.U.B.A.R. is an acronym for:

1. F*cked up beyond all reason.
2. F*cked up beyond all recognition.
3. F*cked up beyond all repair.

The third definition is most appropriate. The verb is fubared.

See, this is the problem with all these acronyms being used too liberally.

I have an acronymous issue and this blog is (you are) to blame for it.

I am, as I assume are many, conversant with the acronym JBOD, which in computer disk-raid systems speak means, ‘just a bunch of disks’

I’m also familiar with the acronym POS, which as we all know translates into, ‘piece of shit’.

What’s happening is that every time you mention that little POS by the acronym JPOS, I automatically read it as, ‘just a piece of shit’, which I’m not sure I should be doing.

It is unfortunate when one’s acronymed name translates into essentially what quite a few people perceive you to be…

All I need to do now is to coin a term for this. If it doesn’t already exist I think I’ll call it Agrostonymy.
