I would put the probability of hearing "fubar" on a starship thousands of years removed from Earth right up there with seeing a Hummer being driven around on Caprica thousands of years removed from Earth.

I don't much care. Authors of a science fiction world can make it look and sound any way they want it to so good for them.

I would imagine, in all seriousness, that like The Great Hummer Debate among the creators of the show last year, there was probably some discussion of whether or not "fubar" should be used in the dialogue. It was probably no accident.
