SNAFU is an acronym that is widely used to stand for the sarcastic expression Situation normal: all fucked up. It is a well-known example of military acronym slang. It is sometimes censored to "all fouled up" or similar.[1] It means that the situation is bad, but that this is a normal state of affairs. The acronym is believed to have originated in the United States Marine Corps during World War II.
In modern usage, SNAFU is used to describe running into an error or problem that is large and unexpected. For example, in 2005, The New York Times published an article titled "Hospital Staff Cutback Blamed for Test Result Snafu".[2] SNAFU also sometimes refers to a bad situation, mistake, or cause of trouble, and it is sometimes used as an interjection.
The first known publication of the term was by The Kansas City Star, on July 27, 1941.[4] It was subsequently recorded in American Notes and Queries in the September 1941 issue (which the Oxford English Dictionary in 1986 credited as the term's first appearance).[5] Time magazine used the term in its June 16, 1942, issue: "Last week U.S. citizens knew that gasoline rationing and rubber requisitioning were snafu."[5]
The attribution of SNAFU to the American military is not universally accepted: it has also been attributed to the British,[6] although the Oxford English Dictionary gives its origin and first recorded use as U.S. military slang.[5]
for code readability purpose I had to separate out code into two different modules.Common errortype which is used by multiple functions in module_a and few in module_b is now part of module_a (Since only few functions uses this errortype in module_b i don't want to create a new errortype in module_b instead i want to use this existing errortype from module_a).And this errortype derives snafu due to which I can't use this errortype in module b now . I get this below error if i try to do so
In an email to my new employer's HR department about a payroll problem, I started to type "there seems to be a snafu in my pay". However, I then reflected on what (I understand) "snafu" originally stood for (situation normal, all f****d up). However, the term seems to have worked its way into somewhat broad acceptance. So, has "snafu" either become an acceptable term independent of its original meaning, or do most people not know what it is short for, or should I just avoid it?
Edit about the use of the term: There have been a few statements about how this particular use of snafu doesn't fit the term; i.e. that this is a single occurrence, but that using the term implies the problem to be the normal state. While I see how that contradiction may seem to exist, it's my observation (and that of others, including other statements in response to this question) that the term is usually used in response to a particular incident. While there is (obviously) room for misunderstanding I think the "situation normal" part of the term comes more from a view point that life/the universe/everything is messed up, and this single event is just one example of it.
Especially when writing someone new, who you don't have a lot of contact with, go with the clearest, easiest to understand language possible. "Snafu" has a nice ring to it, and it's charmingly informal, but "problem" is clearer and less likely to cause either confusion or offense. You want the problem fixed as quickly as possible, and you don't want language to get in the way.
I tend to steer clear of any kind of slang, jargon or colloquialism when I'm reporting a possible problem by e-mail, unless you know the person very well. You have no control over who will see the e-mail as part of a "forward chain" which can easily lead to trouble.
Snafu is particularly problematic, as it implies that the people making the mistake (in this case, potentially the HR payroll staff) habitually and commonly get things wrong, over and above any swearing.
As for using "snafu" in conversation - I'd suggest that if you are new in the office, you get a feel for the "swearing threshold" in that workplace before using it. Some environments are more robust than others
In your case, the usage doesn't necessarily imply that it is routine for HR to make mistakes, but rather that circumstances and complexities which are beyond control might cause some mistakes to have been made.
My current employer has a lot of prudish people. When I've used "snafu" or "wtf" in emails, I get nastygrams from people in other states and countries who were never on the distribution of the first email. I don't personally consider either of them to be vulgar or inappropriate, but there are dozens of people (out of 15,000-20,000 employees worldwide) who are offended enough to call me out and harangue my boss as well. The moral of this is that you lose control of your email the instant it is sent, and that while the content will be appropriate for the intended recipient, it is likely to be forwarded to some jerk who takes offense at any and every thing.
Hand-coding clusters in fluency data is time consuming, which has recently led to the development of statistical approaches for identifying clusters (e.g., Kim et al., (2019), Linz et al., (2017), and Woods et al., (2016)). For instance, Linz et al., (2017) use a distributional semantics model trained using word2vec (Mikolov et al., 2013) to estimate animal similarity and demarcate clusters. While these approaches have been successfully validated on a few datasets, they may not capture all of the way humans mentally categorize concepts. While statistical cluster scoring techniques will likely continue to improve, the vast majority of research using verbal fluency tasks continue to rely on hand-coded clustering.
The rich structure of fluency data stems from the mental organization of semantic concepts and the retrieval processes used to recall them (Hills et al., 2012; Abbott et al., 2015). Computational methods have been developed to estimate semantic networks (abstract representations of semantic memory) from fluency data that reveal this structure. However, these methods can be difficult and time consuming to implement. As a result, a semantic network analysis of fluency data is rarely performed. Some network estimation methods are worse than others at capturing human behavior (Zemla and Austerweil, 2018), but choosing an estimation method is still ad hoc and often based on ease of implementation. Further, not having standards and best practices can lead to the temptation of selecting a network estimation method based on which one provides the desired results (as well as more innocuous forms of motivated data analysis). As such, network analysis of fluency data is still relatively uncommon and the reliability of many analyses is mostly unknown.
In this article, we present SNAFU: the Semantic Network and Fluency Utility. SNAFU is a tool for analyzing fluency data that aims to increase transparency, reproducibility, and interpretability of verbal fluency analyses. SNAFU automates many common approaches to quantifying fluency data, including computing cluster sizes and switches, word frequencies, age-of-acquisition, intrusions, and perseverations. SNAFU also implements a number of methods for estimating networks from fluency data, and uses current best practices as defaults (Zemla & Austerweil, 2018). SNAFU comes in two flavors: (1) a Python library for programmatically analyzing fluency data, and (2) a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides an easy point-and-click interface for analyzing fluency data. The Python library is cross-platform and built and tested using Python 3.5. The GUI is available for download on Windows and macOS.
The Python library contains a set of tools for analyzing fluency data. It provides more flexibility than the GUI, but is intended primarily for researchers who have some programming experience. The library is open-source and available for download on GitHub at -py. For convenience, it can also be downloaded from the command line using pipFootnote 1 (see Code Snippet 1).
A large semantic fluency dataset spanning several categories (animals, fruits, vegetables, foods, supermarket items, and tools) is included on the GitHub repository. The repository also includes a demo file with all of the code snippets in this manuscript (brm_demo.py) and several additional demo files covering various use cases. The following sections provide a high-level overview for how to analyze your fluency data with SNAFU.
SNAFU requires that a data file is formatted as a comma-separated value (CSV) file with a header row. The GitHub repository includes a sample dataset of semantic fluency combined from three experiments (collected between 2015 and 2017), containing 807 lists from 82 participants, with a total of 24,572 responses. To load data into SNAFU, the data file must contain a minimum of three columns designated with the proper header labels: id denotes a subject identifier (e.g., A101), listnum denotes a unique list identifier per subject (e.g., 1 through 3 if a participant has three lists), and item denotes the participant responses (e.g., dog, cat, etc.). Responses within each list should be sorted in chronological order. Three other columns are optional: category denotes a fluency category label (e.g., animals), group is used to subset participants in the data based on meaningful experimental conditions or participant characteristics (e.g., Monolinguals), and rt denotes the inter-item response time for each response. The data file may also contain any number of additional columns, but these columns are ignored by SNAFU. Provided are some sample code snippets for importing data from the included fluency data (see Code Snippet 2).
The first argument to snafu.load_fluency_data is a string denoting the filename of the data. By default, SNAFU will load data from all participants, groups, and categories. You can filter the data before importing using the optional parameters subject, group, and category. In Code Snippet 2 (Example 1), only the responses for subject A101 in the animal category are imported, while in Code Snippet 2 (Example 2) animal fluency data from all participants in the Experiment 1 and Experiment2 groups are imported.
