>I see sample code and it will have a reference to foo. It doesn't stand for anything does it?? It's generic?
Foo and Bar are often used in generic code.
FUBAR is short for "fouled up beyond all repair (or recognition)". The original actually uses a slightly different word for the first word.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
