+------------+ change as a post-war bowdlerization, but it |rfill|
|:left:::::::| it now seems more likely that FUBAR was |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| itself a derivative of `foo' perhaps |rfill|
|:left:::::::| influenced by German `furchtbar' (terrible) - |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| `foobar' may actually have been the |rfill|
|:left:::::::| _original_ form. |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| |rfill|
|:left:::::::| For, it seems, the word `foo' itself had an |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| immediate prewar history in comic strips and |rfill|
|:left:::::::| cartoons. The earliest documented uses were |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| in the "Smokey Stover" comic strip published |rfill|
|:left:::::::| from about 1930 to about 1952. Bill Holman, |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| the author of the strip, filled it with odd |rfill|
|:left:::::::| jokes and personal contrivances, including |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| other nonsense phrases such as "Notary Sojac" |rfill|
|:left:::::::| and "1506 nix nix". The word "foo" frequently |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| appeared in the on license plates of cars, in |rfill|
|:left:::::::| nonsens sayings in the background of some |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| frames (such as "He who foos last foos best" |rfill|
|:left:::::::| or "Many smoke but foo men chew"), and Holman |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| had Smokey say "Where there's foo, there's |rfill|
|:left:::::::| fire". |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| |rfill|
|:left:::::::| According to the Warner Brothers Cartoon |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| Companion |rfill|
|:left:::::::| (http://www.spumco.com/magazine/eowbcc/) |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| Holman claimed to have found the word "foo" |rfill|
|:left:::::::| on the bottom of a Chinese figurine. This is |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| plausible; Chinese statuettes often have |rfill|
|:left:::::::| apotropaic inscriptions, and this may have |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| been the Chinese word `fu' (sometimes |rfill|
|:left:::::::| transliterated `foo'), which can mean |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| "happiness" or "prosperity" when spoken with |rfill|
|:left:::::::| the proper tone (the lion-dog guardians |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| flanking the steps of many Chinese |rfill|
|:left:::::::| restaurants are properly called "fu dogs"). |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| English speakers' reception of Holman's `foo' |rfill|
|:left:::::::| nonsense word was undoubtedly influenced by |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| Yiddish `feh' and English `fooey' and `fool'. |rfill|
|:left:::::::| |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| Holman's strip featured a firetruck called |rfill|
|:left:::::::| the Foomobile that rode on two wheels. The |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| comic strip was tremendously popular in the |rfill|
|:left:::::::| late 1930s, and legend has it that a |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| manufacturer in Indiana even produced an |rfill|
|:left:::::::| operable version of Holman's Foomobile. |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| According to the Encyclopedia of American |rfill|
|:left:::::::| Comics, `Foo' fever swept the U.S., finding |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| its way into popular songs and generating |rfill|
|:left:::::::| over 500 `Foo Clubs.' The fad left `foo' |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| references embedded in popular culture |rfill|
|:left:::::::| (including a couple of appearances in Warner |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| Brothers cartoons of 1938-39; notably in |rfill|
|:left:::::::| Robert Clampett's "Daffy Doc" of 1938, in |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| which a very early version of Daffy Duck |rfill|
|:left:::::::| holds up a sign saying "SILENCE IS FOO!")When |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| the fad faded, the origin of "foo" was |rfill|
|:left:::::::| forgotten. |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| |rfill|
|:left:::::::| One place "foo" is known to have remained |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| live is in the U.S. military during the WWII |rfill|
|:left:::::::| years. In 1944-45, the term `foo fighters' |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| was in use by radar operators for the kind of |rfill|
|:left:::::::| mysterious or spurious trace that would later |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| be called a UFO (the older term resurfaced in |rfill|
|:left:::::::| popular American usage in 1995 via the name |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| of one of the better grunge-rock bands). |rfill|
|:left:::::::| Because informants connected the term |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| directly to the Smokey Stover strip, the folk |rfill|
|:left:::::::| etymology that connects it to French "feu" |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| (fire) can be gently dismissed. |rfill|
|:left:::::::| |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| The U.S. and British militaries frequently |rfill|
|:left:::::::| swapped slang terms during the war (see |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| {kluge} and {kludge} for another important |rfill|
|:left:::::::| example) Period sources reported that `FOO' |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| became a semi-legendary subject of WWII |rfill|
|:left:::::::| British-army graffiti more or less equivalent |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| to the American Kilroy. Where British troops |rfill|
|:left:::::::| went, the graffito "FOO was here" or |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| something similar showed up. Several slang |rfill|
|:left:::::::| dictionaries aver that FOO probably came from |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| Forward Observation Officer, but this (like |rfill|
|:left:::::::| the contemporaneous "FUBAR") was probably a |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| {backronym} . Forty years later, Paul |rfill|
|:left:::::::| Dickson's excellent book "Words" (Dell, 1982, |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| ISBN 0-440-52260-7) traced "Foo" to an |rfill|
|:left:::::::| unspecified British naval magazine in 1946, |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| quoting as follows: "Mr. Foo is a mysterious |rfill|
|:left:::::::| Second World War product, gifted with bitter |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| omniscience and sarcasm." |rfill|
|:left:::::::| |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| Earlier versions of this entry suggested the |rfill|
|:left:::::::| possibility that hacker usage actually sprang |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| from "FOO, Lampoons and Parody", the title of |rfill|
|:left:::::::| a comic book first issued in September 1958, |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| a joint project of Charles and Robert Crumb. |rfill|
|:left:::::::| Though Robert Crumb (then in his mid-teens) |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| later became one of the most important and |rfill|
|:left:::::::| influential artists in underground comics, |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| this venture was hardly a success; indeed, |rfill|
|:left:::::::| the brothers later burned most of the |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| existing copies in disgust. The title FOO was |rfill|
|:left:::::::| featured in large letters on the front cover. |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| However, very few copies of this comic |rfill|
|:left:::::::| actually circulated, and students of Crumb's |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| `oeuvre' have established that this title was |rfill|
|:left:::::::| a reference to the earlier Smokey Stover |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| comics. The Crumbs may also have been |rfill|
|:left:::::::| influenced by a short-lived Canadian parody |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| magazine named `Foo' published in 1951-52. |rfill|
|:left:::::::| |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| An old-time member reports that in the 1959 |rfill|
|:left:::::::| "Dictionary of the TMRC Language", compiled |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| at {TMRC}, there was an entry that went |rfill|
|:left:::::::| something like this: |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| |rfill|
|:left:::::::| FOO: The first syllable of the sacred chant |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| phrase "FOO MANE PADME HUM." Our first |rfill|
|:left:::::::| obligation is to keep the foo counters |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| turning. |rfill|
|:left:::::::| |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| (For more about the legendary foo counters, |rfill|
|:left:::::::| see {TMRC}.) This definition used Bill |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| Holman's nonsense word, only then two decades |rfill|
|:left:::::::| old and demonstrably still live in popular |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| culture and slang, to a {ha ha only serious} |rfill|
|:left:::::::| analogy with esoteric Tibetan Buddhism. |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| Today's hackers would find it difficult to |rfill|
|:left:::::::| resist elaborating a joke like that, and it |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| is not likely 1959's were any less |rfill|
|:left:::::::| susceptible. Almost the entire staff of what |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| later became the MIT AI Lab was involved with |rfill|
|:left:::::::| TMRC, and the word spread from there. |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| |rfill|
|:left:::::::| Finally (and perhaps irrelevantly) a Russian |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| correspondent reports that in mainstream |rfill|
|:left:::::::| Russian, "Foo" (or "Fu") is an interjection |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| commonly used as a response to bad smell, bad |rfill|
|:left:::::::| taste, or other unpleasant sensatiion. |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| |rfill|
|:left:::::::| |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| |rfill|
|:left:::::::| From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (09 |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| FEB 02) [foldoc]: |rfill|
|:left:::::::| |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| foo |rfill|
|:left:::::::| |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| /foo/ A sample name for absolutely |rfill|
|:left:::::::| anything, especially programs and files |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| (especially {scratch files}). First on the |rfill|
|:left:::::::| standard list of {metasyntactic variables} |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| used in {syntax} examples. See also {bar}, |rfill|
|:left:::::::| {baz}, {qux}, {quux}, {corge}, {grault}, |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| {garply}, {waldo}, {fred}, {plugh}, {xyzzy}, |rfill|
|:left:::::::| {thud}. |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| |rfill|
|:left:::::::| The etymology of "foo" is obscure. When used |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| in connection with "bar" it is generally |rfill|
|:left:::::::| traced to the WWII-era Army slang acronym |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| {FUBAR}, later bowdlerised to {foobar}. |rfill|
|:left:::::::| |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| However, the use of the word "foo" itself has |rfill|
|:left:::::::| more complicated antecedents, including a |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| long history in comic strips and cartoons. |rfill|
|:left:::::::| |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| "FOO" often appeared in the "Smokey Stover" |rfill|
|:left:::::::| comic strip by Bill Holman. This surrealist |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| strip about a fireman appeared in various |rfill|
|:left:::::::| American comics including "Everybody's" |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| between about 1930 and 1952. FOO was often |rfill|
|:left:::::::| included on licence plates of cars and in |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| nonsense sayings in the background of some |rfill|
|:left:::::::| frames such as "He who foos last foos best" |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| or "Many smoke but foo men chew". |rfill|
|:left:::::::| |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| Allegedly, "FOO" and "BAR" also occurred in |rfill|
|:left:::::::| Walt Kelly's "Pogo" strips. In the 1938 |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| cartoon "The Daffy Doc", a very early version |rfill|
|:left:::::::| of Daffy Duck holds up a sign saying "SILENCE |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| IS FOO!". Oddly, this seems to refer to some |rfill|
|:left:::::::| approving or positive affirmative use of foo. |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| It has been suggested that this might be |rfill|
|:left:::::::| related to the Chinese word "fu" (sometimes |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| transliterated "foo"), which can mean |rfill|
|:left:::::::| "happiness" when spoken with the proper tone |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| (the lion-dog guardians flanking the steps of |rfill|
|:left:::::::| many Chinese restaurants are properly called |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| "fu dogs"). |rfill|

|:left:::::::| Another correspondant cites the nautical |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| construction "foo-foo" (or "poo-poo"), used |rfill|
|:left:::::::| to refer to something effeminate or some |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| technical thing whose name has been |rfill|
|:left:::::::| forgotten, e.g. "foo-foo box", "foo-foo |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| valve". This was common on ships by the |rfill|
|:left:::::::| early nineteenth century. |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| |rfill|
|:left:::::::| Very probably, hackish "foo" had no single |rfill|
|:::::::fill:| origin and derives through all these channels |rfill|
