I hate foo bar etc, seems like a joke that was cringe that has gone on too long. When I was trying to learn programming I was like what the actual hell does this shit mean?

Same. Really thought it was a joke until I saw it all over the place. It really isn't that hard to think of random names.

It's better to have a convention that makes it easy to spot example names
