 Definitions for baz: Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)
:
baz /baz/ n. 1. [common] The third metasyntactic variable "Suppose we
have three functions: FOO, BAR, and BAZ. FOO calls BAR, which calls
BAZ...." (See also fum) 2. interj. A term of mild annoyance. In this
usage the term is often drawn out for 2 or 3 seconds, producing an
effect not unlike the bleating of a sheep; /baaaaaaz/. 3. Occasionally
appended to foo to produce `foobaz'.
Earlier versions of this lexicon derived `baz' as a Stanford
corruption of bar. However, Pete Samson (compiler of the TMRC
lexicon) reports it was already current when he joined TMRC in 1958. He
says "It came from "Pogo". Albert the Alligator, when vexed or outraged,
would shout `Bazz Fazz!' or `Rowrbazzle!' The club layout was said to
model the (mythical) New England counties of Rowrfolk and Bassex
(Rowrbazzle mingled with (Norfolk/Suffolk/Middlesex/Essex)."
