What is the "SNAFU" in My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU? The Japanese title is Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru with subtitle My Youth Romantic Comedy is Wrong as Expected. The subtitle already pretty much translate the Japanese title. So, what is the SNAFU in its English name? How did it get there?
I suspect that whoever decided to use the "SNAFU" translation for the title was going for the original military acronym "Situation Normal, All Fucked Up", rather than the contemporary non-military meaning of "something that has gone wrong". 

Why? Well, the title in Japanese is "yahari... machigatteru", which means "...wrong, as one would expect". If that isn't a borderline literal (if less vulgar) equivalent of "Situation Normal, All Fucked Up", I don't know what is. 

(This is also, in my >opinion, a better translation choice than "...is wrong as expected", which is relatively unnatural and pretty obviously directly calqued from Japanese.)
