That looks like a quote from Tigerland.
Yup, that’s teh movie. But I dont think thats the quote I was looking for. It was a bit longer than that
Does anyone know when the phase first began to be used?
By Clint Eastwood most likely, in Heartbreak Ridge.
The first citation for the use of the word “clusterfk," in its original meaning of an orgy, is from 1966. The first citation for the military use, “a bungled or confused undertaking or situation,” is from B.E. Holley, Vietnam, p. 143: "These are the screwups that the American public rarely hears about. They happen often enough over here that we have a name for them – clusterfk!”
From: Sheidlower, Jesse. 1995. The F Word. Random House, New York.
(An excellent source on usage of the said word and all its permutations.)
Sorry, the date was 1969.
On preview I see that you answered my follow up. Thanks .
