There are few, if any, problems that cannot be overcome by adding more butter.

This seems to be the answer if I could only speak and understand nerd.

Foo is the singular form of Foobar

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar

"The terms foobar, foo, bar, and baz are common placeholder names (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placeholder_name) (also referred to as metasyntactic variables (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasyntactic_variable)) used in computer programming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming) or computer-related documentation.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar#cite_note-rfc3092-0) They are commonly used to name variables or functions whose purpose is unimportant and serve only to demonstrate a concept. The terms can be used to represent any part of a complicated system or idea, including the data (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data), variables (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_%28programming%29), functions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_%28computer_science%29), and commands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%28computing%29). The words themselves have no meaning in this usage, and are merely logical representations, much like the letters x and y are used in algebra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra). Foobar is often used alone; foo, bar, and baz are usually used in that order, when multiple entities are needed."

The term is grok. Mods: please ban him.

Foobar is spelled, FUBAR.

In reality, this is a forum based on lazy people with eating disorders. It was too much trouble to spell the full word, so food became foo.

whose purpose is unimportant? UNIMPORTANT?

In the early days of BF, if you posted in here, a foo bird would fly over and defecate on you as you posted. If you wiped the offending matter off (personally I did not find it offensive, but that is just me), you would soon die a horrible death, or at least get a wicked paper cut or something. Anyway, if you left it on, you would enjoy peace and prosperity and increased sexual attractiveness that was usually but not always limited to the opposite gender of the same species.

Long story short, we had to post a warning not to wipe off the foo bird crap, or in other words, "If the Foo ****s, wear it."

Over time the warning just got shortened to Foo.

See what you started? Don't you read stickies? FOO is a metasyntactic variable. Everyone knows that.

Sheesh.

Hey, where did the stickie go?

I assume that is why I have recently been assaulted on every side by horny mockingbirds.

Foo bird **** is made of old sticky threads, that is why it is so hard to wipe off.

So this is what Load Bearing Stickers are made from?

Foobar is spelled, FUBAR.

and it's an acronym not a 'metasyntactic variable'

I believe that the Foo Bird was created when one of the last free range Dodo birds ate an LBD off the Hindenburg as it approached the mooring tower in NJ.

FUBAR is how your granpa spelled it. Ban him too!

And for good reason, since it's an acronym for "F'd Up Beyond All Repair" (or "Recognition").

Goll darn young whippersnappers!

This makes sense. Was it Foo bird poop that brought down the mighty Hindenburg?

When I think about you I touch myself...

And now you have your answer.

It's called Foo because you touch yourself at night.

just at night?
Then I must be in the wrong place.

It is always night somewhere Modo, and your home is where your heart is. Considering the darkness of your heart, you are in a state of perpetual night.

The question "why is it called Foo?" is its own answer.

If someone asks a question and there's no one but the folks here in foo to answer it is it still a question?

Only if it contains sex or poo.

Short for SNAFU............

Foobar is spelled, FUBAR.

It also predates computer programming.

Foopid answers for a foopid question.

It also defines modern computer programming.

Fixed :(
