Ever heard someone say, “What a SNAFU,” and wondered what that actually means? In today’s episode of History of Simple Things, we uncover the true meaning behind SNAFU — a term that sounds funny but was born out of the chaos of World War II. We’ll explore its original (and much less polite) definition, how American soldiers used it as sarcastic shorthand during WWII, and how it eventually made its way from the battlefield into everyday language. From military slang to modern office mishaps, SNAFU has survived for over 80 years — and chances are, you’ve used it without even knowing its full story. Let’s break down where it came from, what it really stood for, and why it still perfectly describes those moments when everything goes wrong.
