bobwyman commented on the word foobar
FOOBAR is an alternative spelling of "FUBAR". While FUBAR has its origins in military contexts, FOOBAR seems to have grown primarily within the computer software world. Some early systems created error log files with the filename "foobar.txt" Also, note that "FOO" and "BAR" are often used as names for generic alternatives when discussing computer algorithms.

Abbreviation for "Fucked Up Beyond All Repair" FUBAR was painted on damaged military equipment to indicate that it was so damaged as to be unrepairable.
