SNAFU

I wonder why that word's usage has declined? I experienced two instances of it yesterday. First, an address we were given was missing a key element. Then a bank I use fouled up on an electronic payment. Two SNAFUs in one day. Grrrr.

The WW II generation figured that out. We should keep this word & use it.

Too many people have a lackadaisical attitude in paying attention to details, causing a lot of snafus. Maybe it's a form of the entropy of civilization, or modern life. But people can reduce it if they paid attention to what they are doing. That's paraphrased from Yoda, in Star Wars. ;-)
