No, like bug it is MUCH MUCH older than people think, I know
it was used (usually spelled Foobar) in the Algol-60 world,
anyone know anything definitive on first use here?
P.S. bug was first used by Edison, the answer to the
million dollar question was an example of the show substituting
urban legend for fact (the moth was indeed found, but did NOT
give rise to the use of the word bug :-)
