Fubarite

Fubarite is an informal name and in-joke in geology for any rock that has been severely brecciated and metamorphosed to the point that it is difficult or impossible to determine its origin. The name is a word play with the acronym FUBAR, which means "fucked up beyond all recognition".^[1]
