Nathan Torkington (whose name should be familiar to those who own a
copy of The Perl Cookbook) was MC for the OSCON keynote addresses
yesterday morning. In one of his comments (as an aside, really), he
mentioned the familiar "throwaway" variable series foo, bar, etc, but
he identified this series by a name that I was not familiar with (and
he suggested there was a "proper" order for the series - I usually see
"baz" as the third term, but Nate said something else).
I can't remember the term he used (and I'm not even sure I heard it
correctly). Does someone know the name of this series? I'm curious...
