It was certainly featured a lot in the orange/grey walls as foo.bar for
filenames.....didn't they also use brer.bar as well?

I was with you right through the fubar line.
Spent too many hours troubleshooting flaky Unibus problems on
11/780's with semi-fried Unibus or UBA's.
Hearing anyone decode the FUBAR makes me twitch.
Uhmm isn't the computer version Foo bar as in Foo bar blatz zam zow
(I'm not sure about the last ones anymore). I once named a 3B2 310
Foobar and thought nothing of it. Management came to me and
requested an
explaination until they saw the spelling (I was on a support hotline,
fubar is a fact of life there).
