foo bar

foobar又为foo-bar，其中bar是beyond all recognition的缩写，通俗点就是无法识别，一塌糊涂的意思。而foo是fu的变体，fu是英语习语fuck-up的缩写，同样是一团糟的意思。

Foobar is the association of two metasyntactic variables: foo and bar. These variables are often used in computer programming examples.

Foobar is also a simple interpretation of the starting letters of the Runic alphabet. So it would be an expression in analogy to Qwerty or Abcde, which might have attracted one or the other computer programmer. In a museum at Aarhus, for example, you can find a big old wooden bar with the runic enscriptionf u t a r, where fu is being pronounced like foo. However, the letter t is actually pronounced like an unvoiced th, not a b.
