Then I drive away in my solar powered piece of shit car, cool stuff man. And then I go kill a bitch because the flaming orb in the sky told me to do so, and I don't know, oppress a few minorities here and there in the name of nuclear fusion? Religion is fun.

From what I can tell, this acronym originated during the vietnam war. It, like most good acronyms arose out of the military's love of obtuse, obscure, insider tribespeak full of abbreviations and acronyms.
It can be seen referenced here in the glossary section of "Brownwater III", a 2006 book on the vietnam war by Samual C. Crawford: Brownwater III glossary reference
According to that book, it appears to have been a semi-official term during the war, used by both Saigon and Washington to refer to 'Fubar' events which were about to repeat. I have not yet been able to pin down a specific unit, commander or service member who might have been the origin of this slang term... but I am working on it.
Apparently, on the subject of "change fatigue" there is something which has been labelled "BOHICA syndrome". Seems to be isolated to the following document though: Construction and test of a Change Fatigue instrument
There are claims that a pilot named Charlie Bryan may have originally coined the phrase while working at Eastern Airlines in 1988 during a labor strike, but that seems unlikely. The evidence for vietnam being the origin is the strongest so far, and predates the adventures of Charlie Bryan.
