Same effect as foo/bar but not alienating.

What's alienating about foo bar?

1. Loses people unfamiliar with the foo/bar nomenclature (unless you explain it every time which sucks too).
2. It loses information! In real code, you would have nouns and verbs. Our brains rely on parts of speech for code comprehension โ we reuse natural language circuitry.

Also, why be a foobar when you can be a helicopter flying to Malibu?
