"FUBAR" isn't southern US, it originated in the military. And it stands for F**ked Up Beyond All Recognition (or Fouled Up, if anyone asks in mixed company... or at least that's the old version.) Just ask any old soldier.
*takes off Grammar Marm Hat and sits down* ! OOps... sowwy.

Not sure what it stands for, but Fugazi are an independent (in the true sense of the word) American band, who take care of every aspect of their music without relying on record companies, managers etc.

Slang commonly in use in Canada(Americans will use some of these):
F**kin' A!:Well THAT'S all right, then! Sounds great to me!
In-F**kin'-credible!(also A-F**kin'-mazing!): expression of surprise.
F**k-all:nothing. As in "I did F**k-all today at work".
Holy F**k!:expression of amazement.
Using the "F" word to replace punctuation:
exclamation point:"Who stole my smokes F**k"
question mark:"What the F**k"
comma:"I bought milk F**k eggs F**k bread F**k and cereal."
Well, Sh*t!:that certainly is surprising news!
Sh*t, yeah!:I heartily concur!
Move yer sh*t!:please remove these articles belonging to you.
Sh*t-box (name of car here):delapidated jalopy.
That stereo is the sh*t(you the sh*t): the best. Interchangeable with
"That stereo is the cat's ass!"
He knows his sh*t:he is a respected expert on the subject.
He doesn't know sh*t from shinola:he is unaware of the complexities
of what we are discussing.
Don't sh*t on my cornflakes:please don't spoil my good mood.
We were sh*tting ourselves:we were extremely scared, (not to be
confused with "We were pissing ourselves" which means, of course,
that much merriment was enjoyed by all parties.)
...and sh*t:used in place of etcetera.
He's a good sh*t:he's a worthwhile human being(also, "He's a good
head").
Drinking slang:
BYOB:an event whose policy is "Bring Your Own Bottle(or Beer, for
functions where the two are synonomous)
Ripped:extremely drunk(also wasted, smashed, buzzed, three sheets to
the wind, wrecked, gone, loaded, 'faced or sh*t-faced)
brewski:a pseudo-hip term for a hop-based beverage.
some beers:plural of "a beer" of course.
shooter:a mixture of hard liquors to be consumed at a gulp.
dive:a bar which is not known for having distinguished patrons.
beer nuts:nuts intended to be eaten while drinking beer. Some may be
honey or sugar-coated.
DD:designated driver. Someone who has agreed to remain relatively
sober for driving everybody home.
tab:a running credit for alcoholic beverages. (ie. put that on my tab)
smokes:cigarettes.
Eh:don't you agree?, are you listening?, right?, replaces question-mark, comma or period.
Buddy:replaces "he", as in "Buddy stole all my smokes, eh?"
A few general-purpose derogatory terms:
pecker-head, asswipe, dickwad, dildo, numbnuts.

The band Fugazi say it's basically a nonsense-word, which you can read your own meanings into. I think they said some other stuff about it being discord or something, but I wasn't really paying attention - sorry.
Any other Fugazi fans out there? (Apart from Rambo, who introduced them to me)...
