Now that's just funny as Hell.........
Was gonna say something myself, but decided against it.
I'm just wondering if moose posted that deliberately.....or if it's just one of those misspelled snafu's that just happened to go south when 1 truly looked at it.............

It just could be that English is not the primary language of our friend Moose. He is a very nice person to talk with. Everyone here should try it if given the chance.
Please don't use 'snafu' in here, it is VERY fowl and uses wordy dirds.

Uh Oh......maybe this is the incident they've been waiting for............

LOL!! Better duck!!!
So many people, even avid 'non-cussers' have NO idea of the meaning of that 'word'. Those of us who were in the military do. It somehow has become respectable. I crack up when I here 'certain' people use it.
There is a great scene in the movie, "Memphis Bell", when their departure on their 'last mission' is delayed. They say, in unison,
"Situation normal, all (F) messed up" (they use the 'proper' word in the movie of course)
Mrs. Layoutshooter was unaware of the 'root' of that word until I bought a copy of that movie.

And how many Military Veterans remember what FUBAR means?
I better stop before I get another time out...........
"WAVING MY ARMS WILDLY ABOVE MY HEAD!" and shouting, I DO, I DO!!!
On of the funniest things that I ever heard/saw was when an VERY strict Baptist preacher I knew used 'snafu'. You should have seen the look on his face when I 'spelled' out it's meaning for him. It took me an hour to stop laughing! After he got over the shock he got a good 'chuckle' out of it too.

I have even greater respect for people who have learned English as a second [or more] language - it's more learning than I have. They deserve a lot more latitude with errors than those of us who speak only English.
Moose is a great person to know - he's funny, and knowledgeable, and the Minnesota accent is charming, too.

If I hadn't seen you with my own eyes, I'd have to wonder how old are you? 'Wordy dirds'? Really? I've never heard anyone above the age of 12 use that expression - or say "I dare you!" either.
If Mrs LOS wasn't aware of the words behind the acronyms SNAFU & FUBAR, I'd guess she's led a rather sheltered life - most of us know what it means.
Which makes the subject of acronyms a minefield: which are acceptable, and which will get one banned, eh? Texting has made our world even more acronyminous [don't bother looking it up, I made it up] than ever, but they've always existed, and been useful, because shorthand saves time. In some cases, [FUBAR & SNAFU being great examples] it also saves the tender sensibilities of those who would be offended by hearing the actual words - so which ones are acceptable, really?

HUMOR! HUMOR! WORDY DIRDS is HUMOR!
As to my wife and leading a 'sheltered life' , I think you have absolutely NO idea in the world what you are talking about. Just because she may have not know the true meaning behind an acronym does not mean anything. My wife is a VERY strong woman, able to do what likely NO other woman on this planet was even capable of doing. Putting up with me for what will be 39 years next month! Sheltered life my hind leg. What a GOOFY thing to say!
Obviously Moose meant interpreted. One of my favorites of his is the ever-popular and oft used "costumer".
Sometimes these misspellings or wrong word are just flat out funny. But I'm right there with Cheri on learning a second language. Hat's off to those do it.

It is often the case that misspellings or the use of a wrong word is VERY funny!
Have you had the chance to meet Moose? I have on multiple occasions. Always enjoy talking with him.
Hope you have the chance to some day. He is, by far, some of the better people out there. He ALWAYS goes out of his way to be friendly. I think you would enjoy meeting him.

Good Gawsh.......No Kidding!!!
I mean Hell......why are some members just LOOKING for stuff to get offended over???
If one takes that little conversation between aristotle and Turtle over what moose said to HEART, they'd be much much MORE offended by that than they would over SNAFU and FUBAR.
While that little conversation may have been funny as all Hell.....and of course moose probably didn't say it deliberately, his post would almost be a great line in a porn movie, along with the 3 immediate responses after it. I don't think the stars will ever line up like that ever again even if someone tried to explicitly top that little conversation.....................
With a 10" brush!
