The terms foobar, foo, bar, and baz are sometimes used as placeholder names (also referred to as metasyntactic variables) in computer programming or computer-related documentation. They have been used to name entities such as variables, functions, and commands whose purpose is unimportant and serve only to demonstrate a concept. The words themselves have no meaning in this usage. Foobar is sometimes used alone; foo, bar, and baz are sometimes used in that order, when multiple entities are needed.

The usage in computer programming examples and pseudocode varies; in certain circles, it is used extensively, but many prefer descriptive names, while others prefer to use single letters. Eric S. Raymond has called it an "important hackerism" alongside kludge and cruft.

Has Bush been awarded the Golden Flip-Fllop yet?
Q. He said we should not compare Iraq to Nam and now he is comparing Iraq to Nam. For those of you who don't know, a word about the award. The Golden Flip Flop is awarded to that politician or other public figure who has demonstrated the most outlandish reversal of policy or position for political or person expediency. It is awarded by the NAGCM (National Assn of Grifters and Con-Men) on a yearly basis. The Golden Flip Flop is manufactured in China by forced prison labor. It is shipped to India (in accordance with offshoring policies) and given a 24 carat gold plating, which happily obliterates the "Made in China" label and encases the poisonous lead content from the cheap Chinese manufacturing process. The Flip Flop is awarded by the… [cont.]
