Thanked: 0Actually, FUBAR is probably a backcronym as the word foo was also used before WWII (when FUBAR appeared). For more information about the word, see http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/F/foo.html . What was said about how the word foo is used as a temporary file/folder name by sysadmins (and other nerds), is very true.

PS. My use of the word "nerd" is not in any way meant as an insult to anybody.

Thanked: 346There was a glitch and this showed up as a folder when I created my gallery. I didn't know what it was and renamed it to "foo", whereupon it disappeared from my gallery. Never knew what the deal was until jscott posted his message yesterday.
