# bar # The terms foobar (/ˈfuːbɑːr/), or foo and others are used as metasyntactic # variables and placeholder names # The etymology of foobar is generally traced # to the World War II military slang FUBAR, # which evolved through being bowdlerised to foobar # In this Scheme sample, foobar is used to illustrate the name of a function: (define foobar (lambda (x) (display x))) (foobar "Hello World!")
