sorry to keep off topic, but acronym finder showed me this

FUGAZI Fouled Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In (British military slang)

this is an english term, or asian?

whoops, learned something today:

"Fugazi is a word that was used by Americans in Vietnam, and is slang
concerning those who died in ambush (something like that), so the acronmym
is ****ed Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In."

and further "Fugazi is definately _not_ a vietnamese word as there is no Z in the
vietnamese alphabet."

skule is cool

heres another site that agrees:

"WHAT EXACTLY DOES FUGAZI STAND FOR, I KNOW ITS A ACRONYM BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

I found it in a book called NAM, which is a book of recollections of Vietnam veterans, it was a slang word meaning f*ucked up situation, according to their glossary. Later I found out it was actually an acronym meaning "F*ucked Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In."

If that's what it means, then Italian gangsters are using it incorretly. Who said it was a Vietnamese word? It doesn't look or sound remotely Vietnamese.

well, with it being picked up during the vietnamese war and used during that time i assume a lot of people thought it was vietnamese. it really doesn't look english

hows the italian gangsters use it? ive seen some sites in german that use it too, trying to find the german meaning.

no german

no italian:

Italian gangsters use it exactly the way I described, to denote something that is fake. A "fugazi diamond", for example.
