foo bar is very often used in computer programming, used to declare a (temporary) variable.
Most probably, "foo" and "bar" came from "foobar," which in turn had its origins in the military slang acronym FUBAR. The most common rendition is "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition"
Suppose we have a function named bar and a variable foo. To call the function we use foo bar.
