Foo is a word that can be used to mean anything at any time in any place.

In other words, it's the word. Used in conjunction with normal articles, conjunctions, and prepositions, you could construct an entire sentence using nothing but the word "foo" and variations.

Sarge - in before the lock, if that was a question.

Other reason, than just for the fun of it, is that this thread is really not funny.

Oh but there's a *lot* of *FOO*s out there that need the type of information displayed here in this thread, they just don't know it yet.

Enlightenment is the true path to self-awarness!

Of course, it could also mean "Injustice By The Law" (it's an organization) but I doubt it. :wink:

EDIT: Oh, dang! that already got answered and I didn't see it. Too much skimmin'

Turns out "foo" is not a legal play in Scrabble. I found this out on Monday, the hard way.

When â??fooâ?? is used in connection with â??barâ?? it has generally traced to the WWII-era Army slang acronym FUBAR (â??Fucked Up Beyond All Repairâ?? or â??Fucked Up Beyond All Recognitionâ??), later modified to foobar. Early versions of the Jargon File interpreted this change as a post-war bowdlerization, but it it now seems more likely that FUBAR was itself a derivative of â??fooâ?? perhaps influenced by German furchtbar (terrible) â?? â??foobarâ?? may actually have been the original form.
LOL

There's always "FODI" ... on a stick! ;)
