Acronyms are one thing but you\'ve got to love dictionaries.
From dictionary.com
gob·shite (g

)
n. Chiefly British Slang
A person regarded as mean or contemptible.


[Perhaps ultimately from obsolete gobshite, wad of expectorated chewing tobacco or tobacco juice : gob + dialectal shite, excrement (from Middle English shiten, to defecate, from Old English *sctan. See skei- in Indo-European Roots).]

SNAFU was a character created in 1943 for the US Army Navy. He was used in Propaganda films to teach soldiers such lessons as \"Loose Lips Sink Ships\"

Now I am pretty sure the term has been used before these movies.
