Question 1: What does FOOBAR stand for?
F**ked up beyond all recovery. IE, FUBAR.
related to Snafu.

1. Isn't it : FUBAR ?
and
2. Wouldn't that be 'recongnition' ?
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus
It has been plausibly suggested that "foobar" spread among early computer engineers partly because of FUBAR and partly because "foo bar" parses in electronics techspeak as an inverted foo signal; if a digital signal is coded so that a positive voltage or high current condition represents a "1", then a horizontal bar is commonly placed over the signal label.
I.e. the generic variable "foobar" or "foo bar" is probably a derivative of "fubar", but they do not mean the same thing. "foo" and "bar" (or "baz" or "bat") are so-called metasyntactic variables, words that don't mean a thing by themselves but are used when a nonsensical variable is needed, for example "for [foo] to happen, [bar] must take place first". Or, another example:
chomp($foo=`which echo`);
system "$foo Hello World > bar";
The meaning lord of the mark used in

is therefore not exactly precise, but I'm not going to call it incorrect.
What comes to "recognition vs. recovery", it's the same with "remember vs. recall" in IIRC - it doesn't matter.
Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!
FUBAR is an acronym that originated in the military to stand for the words "f***ed up beyond all repair." This is often softened to "fouled up beyond all repair" in reference to hardware. The programming and documentation equivalent is "fouled up beyond all recognition." Sometimes the last word is "recovery" or "reconciliation" or "reason."
