Powell won't Call Region the 'Farshtukener' Middle East (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/A/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1052622195338)

1). No, the jerusalem post is not a satirical paper.

2). No, I won't trasnlate "farshtukener", as it would violate forum guidelines against obscenity.

Fine. PM the translation to me, and I'll post it.

While you're at it, how about posting a news link that doesn't require me to sign my life away to read a few paragraphs?

OK, literally, it is an adjective that means "smells bad", or "a stinker".

A more colloquial translation would be "f--ked up", "a total mess", or, perhaps best, American Military FUBAR (F--ked Up Beyound All Recognition)
