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

I always like:

• asdf
• qwer
• uiop

Because they are all a quick flick of one hand over all fingers, not far from your home position, and you can pronounce them (as opposed to zxcv and jkl which don't roll off the tongue quite as well :)

FWIW Common lisp has a package manager called asdf

Answer 2

My favourites in German are “wilde” and “wutz”, in conjunction, which could be translated as “wild” and “piglet”. Also, there's “barfoos”, which, when spoken, sounds like “barfuß”, German for “barefoot”.
