Yeah, I'm the same way with abbreviations. I only use a select few. After years of resistance though, I finally conformed and started using LOL - mainly just on livejournal, because I feel like people expect it and my "Hahahaha" aren't conveying that I'm laughing enough :P
In Canada we actually have a movie called FUBAR - it's one of those mockumentary comedies, except that it's horribly depressing in the end :P It has a sequel too that is much the same. And yeah, I think it's of WWII origins? Definitely military in anycase.
I like BAMF, because although I'm an adult and I'm allowed to swear, I still tend to watch my language like my mum is watching me...and my mum is the type that says "sugar" and "fudge" ;) So, it gives me a nice alternative to actually using the swear words in the phrase it conveys.
