I need a lesson on some of these sayings/acronyms. What does *get bent* mean? What does FUBAR mean? And there’s too many more to type :) I thought I was up to date on the IM, text messaging shorthand but apparently not.

Allow me. Get bent means twisting male equipment at a right angle while in the ready position - sorry, but that's the cleanest description I can think of.

FUBAR is another nasty acronym of military origin. The clean version is Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition. Replace Fouled to get the dirty version.

I prefer the Freeper version of FUBAR that I coined recently (see my profile for others:

FUBAR--FREEPER with UNUSUALLY BAD ATTITUDE, RANTING

“Get bent” is a general insult, sort of a more emphatic version of “get lost” or “screw you.” FUBAR way, way predates instant messaging. It originated in the military and stands for “Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition.” of course, the “F” doesn’t actually stand for “fouled.”
