When foo and bar is not enough [closed]

Question

When you are using placeholder names when programming (not necessary variable names, but labels, mockup names, etc) and foo and bar is not enough, what do you use?

I guess baz is rather common as third name, and the lorem ipsum for longer texts. But then what?

Answer 1

In Expert C Programming: Deep Secrets, Peter van der Linden used vegetables.

Answer 2

and for OOP Thingoid...

Answer 3

For arbitrary names beyond bar, I've always gone with inky, pinky, blinky, and in exceptional cases, clyde.

Answer 4

moo, cow, sheep, baa (in that order).

Answer 5

Pick a theme and use it.

Or use CPAN's ACME::MetaSyntactic to generate them for you. Lots of themes out of the box.

Answer 6

Names of swedish vegetables and fruits: gurka, tomat, banan. Bonus points if you have å, ä, or ö in the variable names. :-)
