I vote for "Fall BOHICA".  I've experienced it for far too many years.

"Mincemeat" (The Man Who Never Was) pretty well took the prize.

In my working life, I didn't "do" Operations, I did Projects, as in (I'm not kidding), "Project X" and "Project Y". When it came to names, my management had about as much imagination as 200# of mulch. I always felt a little deprived (as we were doing some interesting stuff), I mean, even the generic as [dinkywongo] "Operation Jumbo" has more class than "Project X".

Imagination wasn't the key to naming operations back in the day... Random, unimportant words were the key... The operation name was supposed to be a word or combination of words that had the least chance of giving away the type of operation that was being planned...

Torch, Bolero, Overlord, Market-Garden, Husky, Hastings, etc... Ever since "Urgent Fury", the DoD has been effin' up the system, tryin' to find names that'll sound good in the press...   

However, I'd go with "Plan 9 From Outer Space" for the next one...

Well, besides BOHICA, there's FUBAR.  FIDO is  good one, too.

Funny thing, the actress who voices Lois is rather unattractive. Tongue Tied

There's also FUBB (F'd-Up Beyond Belief), and EAR ( Echelons Above Reality)...
