/Foo/Bar/
Foo Bar. We'll probably never know for sure where the terms foo and bar came from, even though almost everyone has seen it used. But believe it or not, there is an RFC that tries to do exactly that. From World War II slang to comic strips to Chinese figurines, the authors (Eastlake, Maros, and Raymond (as in Eric S.)) do their best to find the answer to the question: How much foo can a man chew if a foo man could chew foo?
