What a hoot! re: Failed UniBus Address Register (FUBAR)...

For one H/W project, the team wanted to use the acronym, PRICK. I vetoed that, but I allowed PRIC with a plausible set of words. This was only intended to be the development name, not the "real" name. However this acronym wound up going very far into the release process. Documentation was writing sentences like, insert the PRIC to the right of the hard disk card! Geez! Turned out to just be a minor kerfuffle but the development dept had a good laugh. The team that developed the PRIC card did an excellent job. It worked. We just changed to the "official name" which I have forgotten already.
