[very common] Another widely used
metasyntactic variable; see foo for etymology. Probably
originally propagated through DECsystem manuals by Digital
Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1960s and early 1970s;
confirmed sightings there go back to 1972. Hackers do not
generally use this to mean FUBAR in either the slang or jargon
sense. See also Fred Foobar.
