Foo... Bar.... WHAT?

Asked by Perchik (4992points) July 27th, 2007

In a lot of programming examples I've noticed the variables foo and bar have crept into a lot of things. Almost as popular as making a program say "Hello World". So where did "foo" and "bar" come from? Is it a reference to "FUBAR"? and if it is...why's it not fu?
