	Foo fighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term foo fighter was used by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II to describe various UFOs or mysterious aerial phenomena seen in the skies over Europe and the Pacific theatre.
		"Foo fighter" was supposedly used as a semi-derogatory reference to Japanese fighter pilots (known for erratic flying and extreme maneuvering), it became a catch phrase for fast moving, erratically flying objects (such as UFOs).
		It has also been suggested that the "foo fighter" was a secret disk-shaped Luftwaffe aircraft nicknamed the "feuerfighter" by the Germans, but as this hypothetical name is a nonsensical mix of German and English, and no such craft has been found, this explanation is a likely urban legend.

	Metasyntactic variable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This suggests that foo may have originated with the World War II slang term fubar, as an acronym for fucked/fouled up beyond all recognition/repair, although the Jargon File makes a reasonably good case [1] that foo predates fubar.
		Foo was also used as a nonsense word in the surrealistic comic strip Smokey Stover that was popular in the 1940s and 1950s.
		Apparently FOOs used to go places well forward of normal troops in battle and leave a stylised chalk graffiti of a person looking over a wall with the words "foo was here".

	foo - definition by dict.die.net
		FOO was often included on licence plates of cars and in nonsense sayings in the background of some frames such as "He who foos last foos best" or "Many smoke but foo men chew".
		In 1944-45, the term `foo fighters' was in use by radar operators for the kind of mysterious or spurious trace that would later be called a UFO (the older term resurfaced in popular American usage in 1995 via the name of one of the better grunge-rock bands).
		Foo is a mysterious Second World War product, gifted with bitter omniscience and sarcasm." Earlier versions of this entry suggested the possibility that hacker usage actually sprang from "FOO, Lampoons and Parody", the title of a comic book first issued in September 1958, a joint project of Charles and Robert Crumb.

		Foo made no bones about his thirst for fame or his strategy for achieving it: ride the world's biggest waves with singular audacity, and do it when the cameras were rolling.
		Foo explained the risks he took by saying, "If you want to ride the ultimate wave, you have to be willing to pay the ultimate price." He recited this so often, to so many people, that it became a cliché.
		Foo never got rich, but he had the means to surf whenever and wherever he wanted, and that was sufficient to win the lasting enmity of his colleagues.

		At Foo, I was about as likely to bump into a founder of Google as I was a vice chairman of Warburg Pincus (both were there).

	Jargon 4.2, node: foo
		According to the Warner Brothers Cartoon Companion (ttp://www.spumco.com/magazine/eowbcc/) Holman claimed to have found the word "foo" on the bottom of a Chinese figurine.
		This is plausible; Chinese statuettes often have apotropaic inscriptions, and this may have been the Chinese word `fu' (sometimes transliterated `foo'), which can mean "happiness" when spoken with the proper tone (the lion-dog guardians flanking the steps of many Chinese restaurants are properly called "fu dogs").
		According to the Encyclopedia of American Comics, `Foo' fever swept the U.S., finding its way into popular songs and generating over 500 `Foo Clubs.' The fad left `foo' references embedded in popular culture (including a couple of appearances in Warner Brothers cartoons of 1938-39) but with their origins rapidly forgotten.

		Perhaps it was unavoidable osmosis: Grohl, Foo Fighters' lead singer-guitarist, wrote most of these tunes during breaks from beat-keeping for his former band leader.
		"Foo Fighters" is a showcase of Dave Grohl's talent; not only are all of the songs brilliant, so is the musicianship.
		Despite being bettered by the Foo Fighters follow-up album, The Colour and the Shape, their self-titled effort remains one of the best rock albums of the 90's and a fine fairwell to the glory days of grunge.

		Disc one follows the Foo’s classic sonic blueprint: lip-smacking melodies and enigmatic lyrics, double-barrel guitars and drums that attack.
		Every Foos record, up to and including their fourth studio disc, One by One, fluently merges rock menace with unabashedly cheery melody and thoughtful if cryptic lyrics.
		And even though the Foo Fighters' latest is seductively sweet in sound, there are just enough rough edges and lyrical angst to keep things interesting.

		The word "foo" also turned up on signs, lists, menus, and the lips of various characters at random but frequent intervals.
		"Foo", by the way, was picked up from this strip and used in several animated cartoons, notably some that Bob Clampett directed for Warner Bros. It may have influenced the formation of the World War II slang expression "fubar" (a relative of "snafu").

		''foo'' and ''bar'' are standard words used in lots of examples in computer science literature.
		But the words 'foo' and 'bar' connected to 'foo.bar' remind me very, very much of a word which is spelt a bit differently but pronounced exactly the same way: fubar (well, actually it's an abbreviation f.u.b.a.r./FUBAR).
		My recollection of it was that there was just ''foo'' (no ''bar'') which was used in programming courses at M.I.T. to denote some random variable or value as ''x'' is, in algebra.

		This is because the declaration that associates the foo prefix with the http://www.bar.org/ namespace occurs on the B element, overriding the declaration on the A element that associates it with the http://www.foo.org/ namespace.
