BOHICA stands for Bend over, here it comes again, a military term abbreviation.
Cynical military slang voiced when troops expect another unpleasant order, inspection or policy change to land on them, just as previous ones have, with no way to avoid it.
Example: Another weekend inspection announced at 1600 on Friday? BOHICA.
Usage notes
Pronounced "bo-HEE-ka." The expression appears in Vietnam-era usage and remains common across the services and in civilian workplaces. Like FUBAR and SNAFU, it reflects the gallows humor of rank-and-file service members.
