Definition: "Snafu" is a term in literature, often used to describe a situation or predicament that seems impossible or disastrous. It is one of many technical terms found in Shakespeare's "Hamlet," including "bicycle snafus" (a reference to a bike trip) and "flaxen snafous" (a reference to the linen used on a bed). The word has been used throughout literature, such as in the story "The Glass Slippers," where it refers to a pair of shoes that could potentially be lost or stolen.
