Changing the subject entirely, I took high school German in a small class with two native speakers. I only learned three words of German, and gefübart wasn't one of them. In fact it only gets one hit in google.
Where did you learn German?

(Great is the power of steady misrepresentation.)

In fact it only gets one hit in google. Can't imagine how it gets even one, given that I made it up the other night. I noticed you used it correctly, however.
I "learned" German serving two years in Berlin, 1972-1974 for the USAF. Never got very good at it, especially since I was under pressure to get much better at another language for much of that time. What I learned is GI pidgin German.

OK, I checked your one hit. No wonder you used it correctly!

gefübart = FUBARed. A word in your post of the other night suggested it.
