What about "bin"?
It is always left out of the picture, but it is a big part of the pseudo-variable movement. I mean - come on - it is in Assembly Language Step By Step!

What about the millitary etymology?

Am I correct in assuming that foo actually stood for "Function, object oriented" or does it precede OO? Mishlai 07:22, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
That's a backronym, foo's use as a metasyntactic variable precedes OO.
Is this important enough?
Hmmm, does this really deserve its own article? Or should it maybe just be made of Metasyntactic variable? If people think that it should remain... then is it possible to expand on this article? --DFRussia 02:32, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
