I shouldnt really know this seeing what fugazi actually is but....
I read in a zine a while back, maybe 91 or 92 that Fugazi is slang amoung Ian
and the band for "fucked up". It was in an interview plain as day and that was
what he said......


I thought this was alt.punk, why r we even discussin it? (why am I answering
it????????????????)

Yup, fugazi is synonymous with snafu. It's a military term (slang
really), not an acronym, which means a fucked up situation.

i'm pretty sure it's an old vietnam term to describe a "bad scene" or
something.

yes it does mean fucked up situation or just fucked up. Now i think this
thread should end, considering we've said the real meaning several times.
