What does snafu mean?

I wasn't exactly wondering this. I knew the general meaning ("a chaotic or confused situation") but just didn't realize that it was actually an acronym until recently. A. used it in conversation, and p. shared. Here's what wikipedia has to say about it:

SNAFU is an acronym meaning roughly, "things are in a mess — as usual". The most commonly accepted rendering is "Situation Normal: All F**ked Up" (or "Fouled Up"). In computer jargon, it sometimes is intended to mean "Systems Neatly All F**ked Up". It is sometimes bowdlerized to "Situation Normal: All Fouled Up" or similar, in circumstances where profanity is discouraged or censored. In modern usage, "snafu" is often used as an interjection, as a shorthand for the sentiment expressed by the phrase. "Snafu" is also sometimes used as a noun or verb, referring to a situation that suddenly went awry, or the cause of the trouble. The acronym is believed to have originated in the US Army during World War II.

We both decided we liked this word, pardon, acronym much more after hearing the explanation. What great things the military has given us!
