military slang info


I have heard some of these terms in movies, or on other forums on this site. I think I know what they mean, but never say them becuase I'm not exactly sure. Can somebudy please explain the folowing:

Snafu, Fubar

thanks


And shepards we shall be
For thee, My Lord, for thee
Power hath descended forth from thy hand
That our feet may quickly carry out thy command
So we shall flow a river forth to thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be
In nomini Patri, et Fili, Spiritus Sancti

Veritas, Aequitas

I, of course, was using the polite version, so as to not get banned.

A few others:

HABU = Hook a brother up
SITFU = Suck it the F*** up
BOHICA = Bend over here it comes again

These are some that I have heard in use around my work section. Not sure if they are in popular use.
