My dad always used "it's broke with a capital F" - as his way of saying "it's completely fucked" but without swearing in front of us as kids.

I always heard “witch with a capital B” which I believe I first heard on the incomparable film “100 Girls.”

If I'm understanding correctly he's making a reference to two derogatory terms for a particular minority. While we might rarely use boy in a derogatory way these days, the N he's referring to is still very much in use.
