Don't confuse it with fubar which means something else entirely.

Ironically, these are used to explain things, but are themselves confusing. Not only do they have no relation to the context (as symbols) but they are used for everything: data types, objects, file formats, etc.

Variable names should be meaningful (i.e. descriptive).
