When I was a boilermaker something could either be 'spot on' or maybe it would be off 'a gnat's cock'

Andy G. You will see FUBAR on Unix machines often as file (or variable) names, when it is split in two, so you will see files names 'foo' and 'bar'.

Of course now that computers are the 'in thing' instead of saying 'from A to Z' we should perhaps say 'from bang to tilda'
