One thing's for sure and that is that DCF is a mess. I'd use another military term for "mess" if I knew I wouldn't get my post pulled and also don't want to ruin my reputation for clean language.

Fouled Up Beyond Repair -- which is what I call FUBR. Other people only know foul words other than the word foul for this acronym.

Back in the 1970's, computer programmers started using the variable foobar -- because an important computer was the result of a military project (Project MAC and the computer Multics).

Multics was an Operating System, not a computer.
