What is Foo?
1.
A contracted version of the word 'fool'.
The word origionated with Mr.T. Due to the extended contact with cheap substitute gold, he can no longer tell the difference between anybody he meets. In order to save himself the humiliation of asking who he's talking to, he simply refers to anyone and every one as 'foo' or 'sucka'.
"You crazy foo!"
"Dial 1-800-COLLECT, foo!"
2.
An term used for unimportant variables in programming when the programmer is too lazy to think of an actual name. The origin of such word is described in detail in

2. In my sociology class in
college our professor was giving a presentation about the presence of violence inhuman society. He stated that the family is the 3rd most "violent" institution in society (#1 and #2 being the military and police due to what said occupations may require). He mentioned domestic abuse and soon he drifted direction to the women, talking about date abuse. He said "in a relationship no one should be calling all the shots. If you don't want to do something he shouldn't try to force you to. If he ever beats you THEN THE RELATIONSHIP SHOULD BE OVER. If he does it once he'll do it again. He might say that he can change but he won't. People like that want someone to control and use. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT FROM THE FOO. You deserve better. You need a real man, not some immature foo looking for a punching bag or someone to slap around..."
