Or is that too much of an Xer-speak thing ... too snarky and sarcastic for you to be familiar with it?
Yes, AFAIK "living the dream" is a positive statement that you are living out something you wanted in your dreams.
I first learned about FUBAR in a human potential seminar when a trainer applied the name to me. That was when I was 30 years old.
One might also say "good times" when in the midst of a complete clusterfuck. I was in a meeting today where that was uttered and it was not a celebration.
Eric the Obtuse finds Xer snark and sarcasm to be difficult concepts and so doesn't recognize it. For one thing, they require at least a rudimentary sense of humor and irony which I see no evidence of him possessing. Then again his understanding of science and technology seem to be at seventeenth century level so I really wouldn't expect much from him.
