Do you know why the company is FUGAWI?



Indians????

I've always thought FUGAWI is an old (US?) Army expression !


You may be thinking of FUBAR, an army expression that got picked up by
programmers with the ubiquitous use of "foo." The navy version (as
was explained to me) was SNAFU.

I first heard the FUGAWI joke in 1965, but at the same time F-Troop
was on TV with the Hekawi Indians, so I always assumed the two started
more or less together. The famous Memorial Day race started about 5
years later
