[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

snafu = a situation marked by errors or confusion

‘Snafu’ comes from WW2 and is an acronym for “Situation Normal, All F*cked Up.”

fubar = thoroughly confused, disordered, damaged, or ruined

'Fubar' stands for “F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition.”

We hope this isn’t either.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Is it 'Autumn' or 'autumn'?

Seasons are common nouns, not proper nouns, so they're usually not capitalized.

Capitalize them when they start a sentence, appear in titles, or are personified, as in poetry.

If the world is getting a little too much may I recommend the inexplicably obsolete word ‘latibulating’, from the 17th century? To latibulate is to find a cosy corner somewhere and hide in it.
