| (jargon) | foobar - Another common metasyntactic variable; see foo.
Hackers do *not* generally use this to mean FUBAR in either
the slang or jargon sense. According to a german correspondent, the term was coined during WW2 by allied troops who could not pronounce the german word "furchtbar" (horrible, terrible, awful). |
