Brew 1,287 Report post Posted September 15 According to dad it's an Arabic word he heard whilst serving in Egypt although I bet no Arab ever pronounced it the way we do. Following Jonabs post - why do we run all the words together when writing Nottinghamese? As in: Entenyonyergorrenyonyer? It's easier if we write : Ent eny on yer gorr eny on yer and it makes sense...…..? Just a thought.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 805 Report post Posted September 16 Re SNAFU and FOOBAR (that should read FUBAR). I thought they were British army acronyms. As a kid, I remember a cousin (big-wig in the army) using them liberally and me getting a clip round the ear when I asked what they meant. There were others but they weren't so popular and I've forgotten them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
