Danny's favorite explanation:
	fubar - fsk'd up beyond all recognition, pronounced "foo bar".  Programmers
	use "foo" and "bar" pretty frequently, as they're keep on screwy acronym
	thingies like that.

Or, you could use the jargon file's explanation at
	http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/foo.html
and the related foobar entry
