REDBAR

Acronym for "Re-Draft Beyond All Recognition".

Play on words with the term FUBAR and the concept of redlining. Term derives from legal practice, where hapless lawyers spend countless hours reviewing and redrafting briefs and submissions, often with a sense of trepidation if changing language added by senior colleagues.

My colleague asked me to redline his draft. I REDBARed it.
