For all I care this is the funniest joke I’ve ever told
#define EIGHTY (4 * 20)Language jokes by people who evidently know bugger all about the language are extremely cringe
I once made faux and vrai constants in Java and used them everywhere for a laugh.
I tried so hard to understand as a french and still had to look for the answer. OP’s mistake is that it is pronounced fozo, not foo. The x is only silent when at the end of a word
Yeah, they’d be better off with fous.
The venerable Jargon File has the French metasyntactic variables (i.e. the equivalents to foo and bar) as toto, titi, tata and tutu.
Or to take this in another direction: foo sounds like French “fou” which means “mad” (as in “insane”), so “coucou” might be an interesting alternative.
Kansas doggie, titties, indian car, pink skirt are strange metasyntactic variables.
Mon octets!
Don’t reinvent the wheel, learn the Baguette on Snails framework!
Please explain. It’s the first dad joke of programming I’ve ever seen.
The French pronounce the letters “eaux” as just “o”, and
fooandbarare placeholder names for functions that are often used in programming tutorials.Yes, but it’s “oh”, not “oo” (as in football)
So it’s read “foh-oh”. If you want to be correct, it’s “Fou - barre - base” (“foo - bar - baz”)
Well feauxck
C’est un crazy rod là
I’m French and most people know that oo is not “o.” Fou would have been the proper way to write it.
But how do you pronounce zoo?
“Omlette du frommage.”
Eaux in French is pronounced like o
So foo -> feauxeaux
French Furries: eauxWeaux :3
French people saying “water”:
[Obligatory comment about frog fursuits goes here]
Not really. Every programmer in France knows how to speak English, and foo is foo, not anything else.

Impressive.
I bet you’re fun at parties
